I've got ahost of nice 5.56 NATO weapons but dmaned if I can find ammo for them. Bobby Ray's doesn't carry much 5.56 and so I'm presently out of 5.56 in Troy with no way ot grab more. Am I just getting unlucky with the mix a Bobby Ray's or did I get these guns too early?
One last question, the CAR-15 takes .223 whihc I thought was 5.56mm. Is the Car-15 round just lighter than the 5.56mm round and that is why the differentiation?

you can usually buy 5.56 ammo from tony, his colleague smitty (spelling?) who is in a town square near him and bobby ray's, haven't come across any other merchants that sell it so far...
check bobby ray's stock every day, i think he restocks once a day (i usually check it around 10 am each day) by the way i prefer the 5.54 Russian weapons, less ammo troubles!
have fun!
ps: your other question: i guess .223 is the civilian or older variant of 5.56 ammo (less penetrating?) someone correct me if i'm wrong..

The 5.56mm military cartridge fired in a .223 Rem chamber is considered by SAAMI (Small Arm and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute) to be an unsafe ammunition combination.

I had a few CAR-15's didn't get many hits, so I threw it in for M4 upgrades.
Now the M4 is crap for my use (Rooftop near end of Line Of Sight shooting) So the M4 isn't exactly ranged for my use, can be used indoor however, Lynx uses a AKSU-74, remember, doors are you friends, I had Lynx open a door, shoot one of the enemies, and close it again.
I kept repeating this tactic and I got 5 kills thanks to the door.
