what kind of ammo is 7.62x39 US?

[Hunter]

With speed of 310m/s and lack of proper description I can't say it it supposed to be expanding or armor piercing round.

Subsonic round meant for stealth

It's a subsonic round made for use with suppressors for Soviet Special forces.

The description for it is entirely wrong, and seems AI generated.

This is the description from Tarkov, which is significantly more correct:

A 7.62x39mm US gzh (GAU Index - 57-N-231U) cartridge with a 12.6 gram subsonic bullet with a pointed heat-strengthened steel core over a lead base with a bimetallic jacket, in a bimetallic case with a reduced charge. This US cartridge (Umén'shennoy Skórosti - "Reduced Speed") was designed in the 1950s for use in conjunction with a suppressor, achieving an excellent noise reduction in addition to ensuring the cycle of Soviet 7.62x39mm caliber weaponry.


it's basically for the use of silent takedowns.

It's kinda bad in game, with bad statistics, it can go through basic armor but not well, and it's slow enough that a turtle could dodge it.
