This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of a Kalashnikov-type rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm, testing its performance against a ceramic plate backed with Kevlar®. It explains how hard body armor functions by comparing it to medieval plate armor, where the ceramic breaks up to absorb projectile energy. The description also details the 7.62x39mm round as an 'intermediate' cartridge, suitable for assault rifles with reduced propellant charges, impacting its penetration power, as shown in the clip. The iconic "Avtomat Kalashnikova" (AK) is highlighted as a globally recognized firearm.
