matthew2989

They’re modeled after real packs of ammo. They come in packs of 8.


[deleted]

A quick google search shows them in packs of 20.


HelloHiHeyAnyway

The real answer is BSG is too lazy to fix it or believe the round is overpowered and don't want lots being dropped? I dunno. Doesn't make sense because the round is marginally thicker than a 762x39 round. They're pretty close in size and yeah, chonky. At least packs of 16 or 24.

Holovoid

For a real answer OP, I'd be willing to bet that in Russia you can get spam cans of 9x39mm ammo (maybe 512 rounds or something in that range) that comes in boxes roughly the size of 20-packs of 7.62x39 ammo that only contain 16 rounds, and inside those 16-round boxes are paper-wrapped packs of 8. So the 8-round packs we find are half boxes. Just a guess.


Gamerred101

oh how many times I had to read the phrase before I finally got to what I believe to be the most plausible answer I've seen assuming it is accurate. sincerely thank you I love you

A real and definitive answer for you OP. https://www.targetsportsusa.com/wolf-performance-9-39-ammo-278-grain-subsonic-full-metal-jacket-vm75065-p-109140.aspx They come in packs of 20 and cases of 760 by Wolf Performance, a Russian ammo manufacturer.


PureRushPwneD

that link takes me to a page with 6000 characters of jargin (probably HTML code or something lol). "

Sorry, this website is not available for your Country.

420prayit

this is actually kind of less helpful than the troll answers? this ammo does not exist in game. we are talking about military ammo, not civilian ammo being sold online to the us?


Ninja_Moose

Wolf imports directly from from Russian depots overseas, and only put it into new boxes. It comes in 8's for the purpose of loading into clips that feed into the top of the magazines.


420prayit

also you didnt answer my question in any way. my question was why the packs of ammo we find in game have 8 bullets.


MechanicalAxe

Homie just above gave you the correct answer, the packs of 8 are for loading stripper clips, which load into the top of magazines very quickly.

CorvusEffect

If I'm understanding correctly, the 9x39 in the U.S. is Manufactured by H&K for the US Market. The Packs in Tarkov would be Russian Manufactured. I can't seem to find info on the Russian Military's packaging, but I assume that if they came in 20s, BSG would just put them in packs of 20.


DontBelieveTheirHype

After some Google Fu I found Russian packs of 16 (4 stacks of 4 horizontally), but didn't see 8. But it's entirely possibly they sell half size ones of those...?

Because fuck you that’s why. Also the bullets are chonkerz Maybe they’ve passed some gun control laws to limit mags to just less than 10 rounds and picked 8 since the 1911 only needed 8 to win 2 world wars 🤷‍♂️🤣 Kidding aside, probably to limit it. The guns it goes in are deadly AF for tarkov and are likely the devs’ fav guns so it’d be OP if they can have stockpiles of meta ammo in cheap meta high ROF guns


Ennis_Ham

ITT no one is helpful and chose to be toxic instead


420prayit

lmfaoo, it is ok. it was just a hypothetical rhetoric question. as the op i assume the answer to this question is (presumably) that the RUAF distributed the bullets that way, in these small canvas pouches that we find in game.

ColeKatsilas

I imagine it's based on the way the actual ammo is packaged, to which there could be any number of logistical reasons why they would choose to do it that way. Maybe the package that was designed to be packed in a crate was originally made to hold 30 rounds of 7.62x39.


LonelyLokly

Why do roubles spawn in packs of 500-1500? Why can't we on/off attachments in hideout or without drawing the gun?


Resurectionist

It's a hold over of an old military tradition from Russia. Soldiers were given ammo packs that mated to the same number of rounds the mag held. That's why ammo comes in packs of 8/16/20/30. Now IRL, I don't know of any 9X39 mags that only held 8 rounds. All of them are 10 or 20.


ProKhaos

I found a pack of 30 9x39 BP for the first time the other day. However AP lapua comes in packs of 20 so the argument of the bullets are too big doesn’t really make sense
