The box of 5.56mm rounds is an item used to store ammunition.

Usage

5.56mm rounds are used in the M16 assault rifle. They can be loaded into a 5.56mm magazine.

Crafting

60 rounds can be merged into a box of 5.56mm rounds, saving encumbrance compared to carrying the rounds individually.

This ammunition can be disassembled to create gunpowder.

Recipes are still based on build 41, and are planned to be revamped to build 42 at a later date, depending on the game's crafting system improvement.

Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.
