**7.62 millimeter**, also known as **7.62mm** (Blue) in the game, is a type of Ammunition that is currently used by nineteen weapons (5 Assault Rifles, 5 LMGs, 3 DMRs, 3 Sniper Rifles, and 3 Pistols). Many of the rarer and more powerful rifles use this ammo type. The power of 7.62mm can be compared with the 5.56mm bullets.

## Strategies

* Although this type of ammo isn't the rarest, conserving ammo is still advised especially when using LMGs.
* The PKP Pecheneg, PKM, and especially the M134 quickly diminishes ammo under sustained fire, so be sure to stock up on a lot of it.
* Since most of these weapons are long-range, consider using a 4x or 8x Scope to make it even more deadly.

## Trivia

* 7.62mm has more weapons than any other ammo type.
* All 7.62mm weapons shoot blue-colored tracers.
	+ The tracers in the snow map are visually darker blue than normal, or you can't see them clearly.
* In-game, the 7.62mm weapons use a single ammunition type for simplicity's sake. In reality, however, these weapons do not actually use the same ammunition. For example:
	+ The AK-47, Groza, AN-94, and Groza-S uses the 7.62×39mm cartridge, also known as the 7.62 Soviet round.
		- In real life, the standard AN-94 uses 5.45×39mm. There exists proof of an exceedingly rare 7.62mm variant in real life, and Justin, one of the two developers, has confirmed this is the variant featured in-game.
	+ The DP-28, the PKP Pecheneg, and SVD-63 use the 7.62×54mmR cartridge, also known as the 7.62 Russian, although this nickname is technically erroneous.
		- The R in 7.62x54mmR is actually referring to Rimmed, but since Russians primarily use this cartridge, most call it 7.62 Russian.
	+ The SCAR-H and M39 EMR use the 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge, or 7.62 NATO for short.
	+ The BLR 81 uses .308 Winchester, the commercial version of 7.62 NATO. It can also use a large plethera of cartridges, which includes but not limited to: .223 Remingtion (The cartridge 5.56mm NATO is derived from) .22-250 Remington, .325 WSM (Winchester Short Magnum), .450 Marlin, etc.
	+ The OTs-38 uses the 7.62×42mm SP-4 subsonic cartridge.
		- Although non-existent in real life, the OT-38 is likely to use a supersonic variant of the 7.62×42mm ammo.
	+ The Mosin-Nagant uses the 7.62×54mmR cartridge, but some variants use the 7.62×53mmR Finnish cartridge.
	+ The SV-98 primarily uses the 7.62×54mmR cartridge. However, variants chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO also exist.
	+ The M1 Garand and BAR M1918 uses the .30-06 Springfield cartridge, which would be 7.62×63mm when translated to metric. Versions of the M1 Garand also use the 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge.
	+ The M134 "Minigun" is chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge.
	+ The Water Gun uses water, not 7.62mm.
* The 7.62mm casing is shown with a rim, indicating that it may have been modeled off of the 7.62×54mmR or 7.62×53mmR cartridge, as those are the only 7.62mm rimmed cartridges in the game.
* Technically, in metric, the .308 Subsonic round would still be considered "7.62mm" as the .308 Winchester cartridge is almost identical to the 7.62×51mm NATO round, but chambers in a higher pressure load than 7.62 NATO. This means that it's safe to use 7.62 NATO on a weapon that accepts .308 Winchester, but not the other way around, as the high pressure from the round would result in a gas leakage on a weapon designed to use 7.62 NATO. So realistically, the AWM-S can support 7.62mm rounds, while an SV-98 can't support .308 Subsonic rounds.
* 7.62x54mmR is the most common type of 7.62mm ammo in game.
