CALIBER // CONTEXT

Caliber background

Why this cartridge exists and where it is used outside the raid.

23×75 mm R was created for the KS-23 special-purpose shotgun family. Its unusually large bore supports buckshot, solid barricade-breaking projectiles and flash-bang loads for very different tactical jobs.

Indices compare rounds only inside this caliber. Combat: 45% penetration, 35% damage, 10% armor damage and 10% velocity. Value divides that result by the reference price. Context badges use explicit thresholds and can overlap; hover or focus a badge to see its rule. Prices are snapshots, not live quotes.
