The Box of 5.56x45mm Rounds is a cardboard box that holds twenty 5.56x45mm Round cartridges. It is ammunition storage for three rifles: the M16 Assault Rifle, the JS-14 Rifle and the MSR700 Rifle. The M16 loads these rounds through an M16 Magazine, and the JS-14 through a JS-14 Magazine. The box keeps the rounds together as one light item.
Police SWAT rooms hold boxes fairly often, and army storage rooms hold them now and then. A Carton of 5.56x45mm Rounds opens into twelve boxes. Twenty loose rounds can be packed into a box at any time. 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
The box holds rounds until they are needed. The Open Box recipe empties it into twenty loose 5.56x45mm Rounds. Those rounds fill a rifle magazine or load into the MSR700 Rifle. The Pack Ammo in Box recipe packs twenty loose rounds back into a box. Twelve full boxes pack into a Carton of 5.56x45mm Rounds for bulk storage. Packing and opening need no tools and no skill.
