    Messing around with armor pen calcultor, i found out, quite interestingly, that Lead Slug is a 2-shot kill through lvl.2 armor up to 50m in the thorax. And, if you miss and hit the arms, it's 3-4 shot kill due to sheer damage. I feel like it's a bit underrated due to slugs historically perceived as "bad". On wipe day, a shotty with Lead Slugs is an incredible cheap weapon with naked 1-shot and PACA 2-shot potential. Definitely going to try it!

    I love tarkov ammo deep-dives. I came to tarkov for weapon parts modding, stayed for ammo variety. If they ever add more American ammos, i really hope for .22LR and American-180 SMG to use it, among other stuff. That gun runs 1200 RPM with either 177 or 275 capacity drum magazines, but bullet is absolutely tiny, half the size of 9x18PM, it's only 5.6x15mm in size. But it could be a very fun leg meta gun for early wipe. 0 recoil, huge magazine, cheap ammo (in theory), it's like PPSH, but American
