The cartridge can carry a projectile weighing between 108 grains and 1173 grains and is predominantly used to fire heavy subsonic loads. The high penetration VKS round can penetrate up to 16 mm on of steel at 200 m yard or body armor up to GOST 5A or NIJ III at 100 m yard. The accuracy of this cartridge when loaded with precision VKS bullets is claimed to be one MOA at 100 m yard up to the effective range limit of 690 m yard. Despite being chambered in the same cartridge, the ShAK-12 (and RSh-12) would not be able to feed or chamber rounds designed for the VKS due to significant length differences in the bullet component of the cartridge and thus requires its own, shorter, loads. The ShAK-12 rounds have less range compared to the VKS with the maximum effective range of the loads reaching in between 100 and 300 m yard.2011-12-05 ASh-12.7 https://modernfirearms.net/en/assault-rifles/russia-assault-rifles/ash-12-7-eng/ 2024-02-23 Modern Firearms en Cartridge variants for use in the VKS STs-130 (СЦ-130) - standard STs-130PU (СЦ-130ПУ) - for training STs-130PT (СЦ-130ПТ) - increased accuracy (59 gram bullet) STs-130PT2 (СЦ-130ПТ2) - increased accuracy (solid bronze bullet) STs-130VPS (СЦ-130ВПС) - increased penetration (76 gram bullet) The MTs-558 ru МЦ-558 carbine, a civilian version of the VKS, is also designed for this full-length variant.
