The coax is surprising. The Germans never went in for HMGs like we did but they were at least 7.62.

The 5.56 is supposed to allow for interchangeability of ammo with the crew’s individual weapons. Supposedly the mount can accept a 7.62...I imagine they’d make the swap real quick in a real situation.
