Overview[]

This section is a stub. You can help Armed Assault Wiki by expanding it.

The PPK is a blowback-operated pistol with a fixed barrel. It is chambered to fire the 9×17 mm cartridge.

It can only load from 7-round magazines, and can attain a fire rate of approximately ~ 461 rounds per minute^{[CfgWp 7]}^{[Formula 1]} with a muzzle velocity of 280 m/s.^{[CfgWp 8]} The PPK does not accept optical sights and cannot be dual-wielded with a flashlight. However, it is possible to mount a dedicated suppressor that is interchangeable with P38 pistols.^{[CfgWp 9]}

Ironsights[]

The PPK's ironsights are set to a fixed zeroing of 50 metres.^{[CfgWp 10]} It is not possible to manually adjust the PPK's zeroing.

Ammunition[]

Ammo parameter	9 mm (Ball)
Base damage value	7.5^{[CfgAm 1]}
Aerodynamic friction	-0.002751^{[CfgAm 2]}
Muzzle velocity (m/s)	320 ^{[CfgMa 2]}^{[note 1]} Actual: 280 ^{[CfgWp 8]}^{[note 2]}
Expected velocity (m/s)	319 ^{[CfgAm 3]}^{[note 3]}
Penetration depth (mm)	4.752 ^{[CfgAm 4]}^{[Formula 2]} Actual: 4.158 ^{[Formula 3]}^{[note 4]}
Deflection angle (degrees)	30°^{[CfgAm 5]}

The PPK can only load one type of magazine.^{[CfgWp 11]} It has a weight of 6^{[CfgMa 3]} "mass" units:

7Rnd. PPK Mag[]

Formulae

↑ 60 / reloadTime = 60 / 0.13
↑ Magazine's initSpeed * Ammo's caliber * 15 / 1000 = 320 * 0.99 * 15 / 1000
↑ Weapon's initSpeed * Ammo's caliber * 15 / 1000 = 280 * 0.99 * 15 / 1000

Notes[]

↑ Only applies to the magazine itself. The PPK's weapon class has its own initSpeed value defined (280 m/s).
↑ This is the PPK's actual muzzle velocity. The weapon class initSpeed value (280 m/s) takes precedence over the magazine initSpeed value (320 m/s).
↑ Damage will be reduced if the projectile's velocity drops below this value.
↑ This is the actual penetration depth of the PPK's 9 mm ammunition. The weapon class initSpeed value (280 m/s) takes precedence over the magazine initSpeed value (320 m/s), affecting its penetration formula as a result.
