This test compares the mild steel penetration capabilities of 5.45x39 and 7.62x39 cartridges. While both easily penetrated 1/4 inch mild steel, neither standard FMJ round could penetrate 3/8 inch mild steel. A steel core 7.62x39 round also failed to penetrate the thicker plate, indicating limited effectiveness against hardened steel targets with these specific loads.
