As far as I remember, 7.62x39mm was often stopped by American body armor in Iraq. There is an AP variant, but it is not nearly as common. I don't know what kind of body armor terrorists use. Probably whatever they can get their hands on.

Sweet rifle. The calliber works better for CQB and with suppressors. The 5.45 is actually superior for penetration. The 7.62 is mostly a heavy barrier defeating round, also good to avoid deviation in the brush, it retains well kinetic energy after going through a piece of concrete.
