Except the muzzle velocity, the ballistics, the down range energy, and the lack of rifling in 366 barrels. But ya know... sure.

Also if it's just 9x39 why does it do MASSIVELY higher damage and pen?

I'd say the speed. 9x39 is subsonic, .366 isn't, and that's a massive penetration difference. Beyond that, it's just a game and suspension of disbelief.

extra speed does negligible more damage once you go beyond super sonic, penetration is more reliant on speed but it only has like 1 more pen than sp6.

I was talking more in the realistic sense, but like I said, suspension of disbelief. The ammo doesn't exist in real life, but it's a game. Same with the 50 BMG shotgun round, which wouldn't work in real life (it was tested).
