      The boolets look pretty normal surprisingly enough, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they weren’t. Whichever Saudi prince bought this thing probably wasn’t thinking about cost or practicality all that much

        Yeah I actually zoomed in after commenting and they look pretty much exactly like the 7.62 PS in Tarkov (never seen a 7.62x39 IRL so that’s my best point of reference ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ). I just thought they were also gold at a glance because they are included in the carrying case (and there aren’t even enough to fill half the mag that looks like a 30-rounder)
