In-game description

The 9x21mm PP cartridge (GRAU Index - 7N42) with increased penetration bullet is designed to engage armored personnel. The head part of the core is made with a cut edge. This design ensures the tearing of the threads of the fabric base of the body armor and significantly increases the penetration of the bullet. The core protrudes from the jacket, which increases its penetration capability. The bullet head is colored black.

Against which armor

Penetration 38 is above the resistance of class 3 armor (30) — while such armor is intact, the round penetrates it more often than not. Against class 4, penetrations are rare until the armor is worn down.

For example, the vests it can defeat: BNTI Kirasa-N body armor, 6B23-1 body armor (EMR), BNTI Zhuk body armor (Press). The full table is in the armor classes guide.
