In-game description
A 9x39mm BP gs (GRAU Index - 7N12) special cartridge with a 15.5 gram subsonic armor-piercing bullet with a hardened carbon steel core with a two-layer semi-jacket, a lead interior and a bimetallic exterior, in a steel case. This BP cartridge (Bronebóynaya Púlya - "Armor-piercing Bullet") was developed in the early 2000s based on the 9x39mm SP-6 cartridge to improve its design and penetration capabilities, resulting in an improvement at piercing most models of specialized ballistic body protections, in addition to provide a significant stopping power effect. However, due to its design, it has a high probability of bouncing off various surfaces.
Against which armor
Penetration 54 is above the resistance of class 5 armor (50) — while such armor is intact, the round penetrates it more often than not. Against class 6, penetrations are rare until the armor is worn down.
For example, the vests it can defeat: IOTV Gen4 body armor (Full Protection Kit, MultiCam), IOTV Gen4 body armor (Assault Kit, MultiCam), FORT Redut-M body armor. The full table is in the armor classes guide.
