The 9x39mm is an anti-personnel, subsonic cartridge developed by TsNIITochMach. It is one of the three armor-piercing rounds of the game, characterized by relatively low base power but low drop of performance as the target armor class increases. It is considered a medium-tier caliber.
Real-life data
Based on the well-known 7.62x39mm round but with an enlarged neck to hold a 9mm bullet, the 9x39mm caliber was developed by a team from Soviet, now Russian firearms manufacturer TsNIITochMach in the 1980s.
This caliber was requested the Spetsnaz, the Special Forces of the Soviet Union and later of Russia. In the past, the Spetsnaz noticed that the range of silenced semi-automatic pistols is very limited, forcing them to switch to special, silenced variants of AK and AKM rifles, which used a special, subsonic variant of 7.62x39mm; it was named 7.62x39mm US, corresponding to Umenshennaya Skorost, which translates to "Low velocity". However, the performance of those special adapted rounds wasn't exactly suited to the Spetsnaz's needs.
As such the 9x39mm was requested and developed. It is a naturally subsonic caliber, which achieves low velocity while retaining sufficient power for various needs. Several variants were produced, of which the SP-5 and SP-6 are the most well-known. The cartridges were based on 7.62x39mm cases, but adapted to a 9mm bullet. The SP-5 bullet was a standard, lead bullet for sniper purposes at an effective range of 300 to 400 meters. The SP-6 bullet is a hardened steel core bullet, armor-piercing capable at the same ranges, but is more expensive.
Two weapons were initially developed for 9x39mm caliber: the VSS Vintorez sniper rifle, and the SR-3 Vikhr assault rifle. Both weapons are selective-fire, and were known for being manufactured with integral silencers and for using standardized magazines, interchangeable between them.
As of today, this cartridge is still used by the Russian Spetsnaz.
