.223 round

The .223 round is a type of ammunition in Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas. Due to the specific dimensions of the .223 round, it is used as an offshoot of normal 5.56mm ammunition and will fit in any weapon chambered for 5.56mm.
__TOC__
==Background==
The .223 round is a cartridge with almost the same external dimensions as the 5.56mm, but while the external case dimensions are very similar, the .223 and 5.56mm differ in both maximum pressure and chambering.
==Variants==
===.223 round===
Standard .223 caliber ammunition has a lower internal pressure than its military-standard cousin, and as such deals less damage to the target. However, this also decreases the stress put on the weapon, resulting in better weapon durability.
===.223 FMJ===
Full metal jacket rounds are exceptionally accurate, common, and cheap. They lack any sort of damage multiplier, but are able to punch right through lighter armor.
