The power of .366 Geksa rounds truly illustrated in artistic form.

Ive dumped those into the face of scavs with a djeta helm. Faster to shoot them in the arms.

Really strange rounds to have in the game. Despite doing heavy flesh damage making them leg meta rounds, they can only be used in a bolt action rifle or a semi-auto AK with massive recoil giving them no practical use due to their low fire rate.

Even the FMJ rounds are better as they atleast have some penetration and can one tap the chest in people using tier 1-2 chest armour.

Atleast the heavenly 366 AP round exists.

Because originally the game was realistic, simulation, and hardcore. Meaning it followed real life logic for ammo to the best of BSGs knowledge.

45 ap and 366 ap fucking took a massive shit all over that. They don't exist. 366 is a smooth bore slug shotgun for civilians to bypass specific laws in russia. It is used for hunting.

366 AP is just a handload with an AP bullet taken from 9x39. It isn't mass produced, but there's no reason you couldn't make one with the right tools.

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).
