7 weapons in the game are chambered in it, and every one of them fires a round that starts at 28 damage. What each weapon does with it differs: rate of fire and effective range change the answer more than the round does.
Base damage is before armor. Hollow point trades penetration for flesh damage and armor piercing does the opposite, so the round you load decides how much of a plate you get through. Every figure here is read from the game files.

A blank price means the market tables carry no line for that round: the vendor screen in game does not sell every variant the files declare. Nothing is filled in by guess.
