5mm Round (Fallout: New Vegas)

The 5mm round is a type of ammunition in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
5mm is traditionally belt-fed, and is available in rather high quantities, something made necessary by the notably large "magazine" sizes on the weapons that use it. For example, the Minigun loads 240 rounds at one time and fires an exceptional rate, requiring that the player carries a huge supply if they intend to rely on miniguns.

Variants
5mm Armor Piercing - A round encased in a hard metal case.
 * Target Damage Threshold - 15

5mm Hollow Point - Hollowpoint bullets break up on impact, tearing through fabric, flesh and organs with ease. However, hollowpoints lack the penetrating power to punch through denser materials, this means they break up when they hit things like armor plate, drastically reducing the weapon's penetrating power.
