Summary 0006026: 7.92x57 rounds are underpowered
Revision 2020-11-17 00:18 by aht0
Additional Information It looks like there are lots of variants of 7.92x57 (and RHS seems to have defined M75 for M76 sniper rifle and S.m.K & S.m.K L'Spur for MG-42) but after digging through bunch of gun forums, there is particular pattern noticeable:

With 7.92x57 manufactured in U.S, "loaded-down" seems to be rule (reasoning in one of the gun forums "The US ammo companies have purposely loaded it down for junk war relics that may blow up in somebody's face."). Is experienced crappy U.S cartridges by devs the reason why it's made so bad in RHS?

European spec (incl. war time German manufactured) 7.92mmx57 seems to be much more performant due higher powder charges and be on par or exceed 30-06.

European spec 7.92mmx57 seems to be much more performant due higher powder charges and be on par or exceed 30-06. (Example: 7.92x57 of Turkish manufacture is claimed to do 3000fps/154gr).
