History
Edit
The 7.62x39mm round was developed during WWII, and was first used in the RPD machine gun. Soon after the RPD was completed, more weapons began to use this cartridge, including the SKS and AK-47. The first widespread use of the round was seen with the AKM assault rifle[1].
PerformanceEdit
The 7.62x39mm round is usually effective at moderate to long ranges. This caliber is used by a wide selection of firearms, including the AK family rifles and the SKS.
NotesEdit
- More weapons use a bullet with a diameter of 7.62 milimeters than any other measurement in the game.
