Off topic, but I've never understood why the Soviets switched from 7.62x25 to 9x18.

Against someone not wearing any sort of body armor, the 9x18 creates a larger wound. And that change happened long before soldiers started wearing body armor...but now it doesn't look like such a good trade does it?

Some of it was probably due to the ease/economy of manufacturing a straight-wall cartridge over a bottle-neck cartridge.
