2 million dead Germans can't be wrong... long story short, I met a guy who was hit square in the chest with a 7.62x54R round, it damn near killed him from his heart being severely bruised from a hit on his plate carrier that was shattered on impact... of course the rate of fire leaves much to be desired, from a 91/30.
Damn that one went for $221.50 after shipping, a little more with taxes and "fees"GunBroker.com - Error

I wouldn't even choose one over a Mauser or Enfield for that matter.I have an M44, M28 and a Chinese Type 53 carbine. They are basically bolt action 30’06’s. I damn sure wouldn’t want to get hit with one but would never voluntarily choose any of them over any modern weapons system.
Would be neat-o if the AK mag was a Chinese metal instead of a PMag, but still really cool.
So, if I'm reading this right, this is a Russian 1911?
No, the round he was hit with came from a 91/30, or a PSL type rifle. I think the pistol round you are thinking of is 7.62x25 tokarev. I remember that ammo being super cheap for the longest time, but it dried up about 10 years ago. From what I understand 7.62x25 is a "hot" round and penetrates quite well.
