Ammo Box, 5.56mm Surplus

Ammo box, 5.56mm surplus is a type of ammunition in Fallout: New Vegas.

Gameplay

 * Buying this box is buying 5.56mm surplus bullets in bulk. Once finished with the transaction, the box will be disposed of and 250 rounds are received in return.
 * Surplus ammunition is poor grade ammunition made in large quantities by using corrosive materials in their construction. The resulting product is a slightly more damaging round (+15%) at the cost of more regular maintenance on a firearm (3 times faster degradation) due to the damaging corrosive materials used in the round's construction. This ammunition is usually much cheaper than regular ammunition and comes in bulk packaging.
