ohh , nooo .
without a SC , your CARBINE ammo should be considerd mostly as anti-personnel .
i dont mean classic AP but , just common steelcore .
these little carbines need every bit of advantage they can muster . from a pure MATERIALS/PENETRATION perspective , the steelcore carbine rounds = LCB in 762x51 and such , under many circumstances . the Soviets understood this when they designed M43 for use against MECHANIZED FORCES and all the trappings that come along with mechanization .
at the time it was put into production a dual-core bullet like this was high-tech . while COST/EFFECTIVE it wasnt CHEAPEST . when the Soviets withdrew aid from YUGOSLAVIA they took their bullet technology home with them . they then had to research/design there own leadcore bullet for 762x39 weapons because they could not duplicate M43 on their own .
here is an example of 762x39 PS ball performace in the real world . i recognise this type of bullet/core damage from my tests against sheetmetal and hesitate a guess at 400M . no carbine leadcore round could do this anywhere near that range .
