Background

• Fallout New Vegas Idea. How come the NCR with their service rifles shooting 5.56 ammo isn't able to easily gun down the legion since their armor is football padding and they mainly use melee combat? This always bothered me, its like the saying never bring a knife to a gunfight. I play the game with high realism combat in mind (1-3 shots.
• Conversely, shooting 5.56 ammo in a.223 rifle can cause jams due to deforming cartridges, and theoretically destroy the weapon because of the excess pressure. The game reflects this difference by making.223 cause less damage in a 5.56 weapon, but.223 ammo.

Most weapon vendors will often have some available, boxes of surplus 5.56 (250 rounds per box!) are quite commonly available in Goodsprings, Primm and Novac.223 ammo is commonly sold, and in large quantities by by Alexander at the 188, the Vendortron at Gun Runners, Contreras at Camp Mccaran and travelling merchants.

I can use all of the GRA weapons (At least the ones I spawned to test it, no info if I can but them or not), however any gun in the game will not use the custom ammo. Take, for example, the Service Rifle (Fully Modded), I can load normal, HP, AP, Sur.

The 5.56x45mm round is a rifle cartridge derived from the .223 Remington, originally developed for the M16 service rifle of the United States Army.^[1][2] It is a rimless, bottleneck cartridge that offers tremendous wounding potential under the right condition. Its performance and popularity among military forces endures despite the Great War: By 2287, it has served Americans for over two centuries, from the United States Army to the New California Republic Army.

Characteristics

The standard type of 5.56mm ammunition, offering good performance to the shooter. Popular among civilians and soldiers alike, it is by far one of the most popular rounds in the wastelands. It can generally be used interchangeably with its parent round, the .223 Remington, due to the same casing, though some weapons might not be rated for the military-grade ammo. In such a case, the 5.56x45mm round can cause dangerous buildup of pressure inside the receiver.

A FMJ bullet is very tough, and has pretty good penetration without sacrificing good expansion. In other words, it‘s an average round.'
