Notes
- A carton takes one slot instead of twelve, which keeps base storage tidy.
- At a weight of 6, a full carton is heavy to carry on foot.
- One carton feeds every gun that takes 7.62x51mm rounds, so it suits a base with more than one of them.
- Army storage is worth a look for several kinds of ammunition carton at once.
