Ammo Types in Zero Sievert Explained

There are different ammo types for each caliber in Zero Sievert, each with unique properties and statistics. Some ammo types will make your gun less efficient by reducing key stats, while other ammunition types will make your damage higher or accuracy more effective. 

Here are a few common ammunition types in Zero Sievert: 

  • AP: Armor-piercing bullets reduce your damage but have a higher penetration, meaning they can go through body armor more easily. 
  • BT: Boat-tailed bullets reduce accuracy and damage but pack a higher penetration value. 
  • HP: Hollow-point rounds have poor armor penetration but damage unarmored targets considerably. 
  • Subsonic: Subsonic bullets have really poor armor penetration but significantly reduce recoil. 
  • PS: Pulya Stalnaya, or the “Steel Bullet,” is more of a standard-type ammo type in Zero Sievert. 

The cool thing about Zero Sievert is that a lot of the guns and ammo types actually reflect real-life.
