The 7.62x25 Tokarev round fired by these weapons does not seem to deal quite the damage against armor that it should, the PPsh honestly deserves a buff to the point it's extremely dangerous at CQB thanks to good armor piercing abilities. The damage as of now could be improved since the PPsh and TT-33 only see combat against targets with body armor, which should cause the bullet to not overpenetrate.

Not sure about other armies, but the US military at least uses body armor that protects to Type IV standard, i.e. against a .30-06 AP round at point blank. A 7.62x25 would not pose much of an issue, so I wouldn't see much of a reason to give it less damage loss vs. armor. Its kinetic energy is also very similar to a 9mm, not different enough from other pistol-caliber rounds to justify a base damage increase either IMO.

Alrighty then, thanks for the insight.
