And here is the rating of BR4 body Armour
So protection for 7.62x39 and shot with 7.62x54r. No surprise it lost.
It was shot with standard x39 (AFAIK) ... x54r is the bigger cart used in dragunov or PKM
Those cartridges sure looked like 54r to me. But I could be wrong
You are wrong, those are 5.45x39mm being fired out of an ak-74. 7.62x54r are much bigger and don’t have an associated Bakelite mag like the one used, and on top of that they aren’t fire out of AKs. The only thing close is a molot hunting rifle.
Got it thanks for the info. Just some terrible armor I guess.
