[edit] Design
The cartridge is in principle a Soviet version of the 7.63x25mm Mauser. They are very similar: in fact, some weapons can use both cartridges interchangeably, although this is not recommended.
The Soviets produced a wide array of loadings for this cartridge for use in submachine guns. These include armor-piercing, tracer and incendiary rounds. This cartridge has excellent penetration and can easily defeat lighter ballistic vests (class I, IIA and II). Although most firearms chambered in this caliber were declared obsolete and removed from military inventories, some Police and Special Forces units in Russia and (mainly) in China still use it for its superior penetration, rather than the more popular 9mm Makarov ammunition in current use.
The 7.62 Tokarev is usually much more powerful than its Mauser counterpart and may damage any firearms chambered for 7.63mm Mauser.
[edit] History
As the 7.62x25mm was largely used in the USSR and other communist countries, due to trade via COMECON. However, outside the COMECON countries it was uncommonly found. However after the Cold War, many weapons, especially pistols, were exported with the round now currently in production.
[edit] Use In-game
The 7.62 Tokarev is featured in the Tokarev TT-33, PPSh-41, and the PPS-43.
