The 7.62x54mm R is a large rifle caliber developed in 1891, and suited for sniper rifles, and in belted form, machine guns. It is considered a high-tier caliber in Mazeworld.

Real-life data

The 7.62x54mm R is the oldest military cartridge and among the rare rimmed cartridges still in regular service in military forces in the world. Developed in 1891, it is more than 120 years old. The R in its name stands for Rimmed, but it was a common misconception to believe it meant "Russian".

Originally developed for the famous Mosin-Nagant rifle, it saw and still sees use nowadays in sniper rifles, such as the well-known Dragunov sniper rifle and machine guns, such as the PKM or the PKP.

Its ballistic performance is very comparable to that of the American 7.62x51mm NATO, but has power comparable to the .30-06 Springfield. It is sometimes nicknamed the "Russian Thirty-Aught-Six" because of this. During World War II, it was part of the "big three" of service calibers, alongside its [[[7.92x57mm Mauser|German]] and American counterparts.

Originally, 7.62x54mm R rounds were developed with a round nosed, full-metal jacketed bullet, but the Russo-Japanese War led Russia to develop a new variant in 1908 which uses a spitzer bullet with a lighter gunpowder load; this configuration remained standard up to nowadays.
Later, with the development of the Dragunov sniper rifle, another variant called 7N1 was developed specifically for the SVD as a purely anti-personnel round.
