Right the 5.56mm S109 has a mass of 3.95 g while the NATO .308 Win / 7.62 NATO (USA) has a mass 9.50 g.

The Russian M74 5.45mm has a mass of 3.25 g.

Which means you can sneak around the desert with twice the ammo per soldier if need be.

But don't our guys carry more rounds if they are equipped with a 223?
