7.62mm

The 7.62x51mm NATO bullet consists of a gilding metal jacket and a lead antimony slug. It is a boat-tailed bullet (rear of bullet is tapered) and weighs 173 grains. The tip of the bullet is not colored. The base of the cartridge is stamped with the year of manufacture and a circle that has vertical and horizontal lines, sectioning it into quarters. Its spread (accuracy standard) for a 10-shot group is no more than 12 inches at 550 meters.

Fallout 2
7.62mm rounds aren't going to be used much, only fitting in the weak FN FAL, its decent upgrades, and the rare M60. While not quite as bad an ammo as .45 Caliber, 7.62mm still doesn't have quite the bonuses as 5mm JHP, 4.7mm Caseless, or 2mm EC, making it pretty useless late in the game. However, the FN FAL's night sight can be very useful early on, when darkness can put a lid on your shooting skills. Use it only as long as you have to, assuming you can find enough to keep a clip fresh.
