Background
A high velocity round designed for assault rifles, the intermediate 5mm M134 cartridge has been replaced by the more powerful 5.56mm round in assault rifles. However, it found a new life as linked, belt fed ammunition for man-portable miniguns on the battlefield, specifically the M134 cartridge and is stored in downscaled ammo boxes designed for the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge in Fallout 4 and Fallout 76. It has also been retained as the ammunition of choice for certain models of assault rifle and paratrooper assault carbines.
