Introduced in 1944, it was first used in the '''RPD''' machine gun and the [[izhmekh simonov sks|SKS]] rifle. Although it wasn't the caliber that defined the then-new notions of &quot;intermediate cartridge&quot; and &quot;assault rifle&quot;, but certainly was the one that popularized it and started a new era in the world of firearms, alongside the weapon it was most well-known for being used with: the [[Kalashnikov AK-47]].

The first variant of 7.62x39mm cartridges produced, and the variant used in Mazeworld, is the '''M43''', a boat-tail bullet in a copper-plated steel jacket and a steel core. This design made the bullet extremely solid, which in turn became its flaw - the bullet wouldn't yaw and start deforming before traversing at least 30 cm (12 inches) of tissue. Unless the bullet hit a vital organ, wounds received from this bullet weren't fatal and easy to recover from.

Later, a Yugoslavian variant of the caliber called the '''M67''' was developed - it is a shorter and flatter bullet which deforms much sooner than the M43. However, despite this improvement, it wouldn't catch on due to the fact those bullets weren't frangible - something the [[5.56x45mm NATO]] caliber, the service caliber of the US Army, was capable of and is renowned for.

Outside from military uses, 7.62x39mm sees popular use in hunting and sport shooting, mainly due to the high availability of surplus rounds.
