The 5.56x45mm Round is a loose rifle cartridge. Three rifles fire it: the M16 Assault Rifle, the JS-14 Rifle and the MSR700 Rifle. The M16 Assault Rifle feeds from the M16 Magazine and the JS-14 Rifle from the JS-14 Magazine.
Loose 5.56x45mm Rounds come from opening a Box of 5.56x45mm Rounds. One box holds 20 rounds. The rounds can be packed back into a box for storage. The Veteran is the best occupation for ammo. It starts with the most Reloading skill. The Police Officer also starts with some Reloading skill.
Uses
Besides loading rifles, the 5.56x45mm Round has two other uses. The Pack Ammo in Box recipe turns 20 loose rounds back into one Box of 5.56x45mm Rounds. A full box keeps a stockpile tidy in a container. The Gather Gunpowder recipe breaks rounds down into Gunpowder. That powder goes into the Pipe Bomb and the crafted Firecracker.

Locations
Loose 5.56x45mm Rounds come mostly off zombies in military and outdoor gear. Zombies dressed as private militia carry them most often. Soldiers in desert or green army camouflage carry them almost as often. Zombies in ghillie suits carry them at the same rate. Hunter zombies carry them a little less often. Each of these zombies is worth searching after a kill, since the rounds sit in their clothing.
