4.7mm caseless is a type of ammunition in Fallout 2.
Background
The 4.7mm caseless is a round developed by the German company Heckler & Koch. Rather than placed inside a casing with the propellant sealed inside by the bullet, the caseless ammunition consists of a block of propellant with the bullet buried inside. The resulting space and weight savings allow for very high magazine capacities and rates of fire. H&K created a modular assault rifle that could be modified to act as a squad support weapon.[1][2] Rheinmetal AG pushed further, creating the ultimate minigun capable of achieving firing rates of 90 000 RPM, representing the very pinnacle of Teutonic engineering.[3]
Gameplay
4.7mm is one of the rarest forms of ammo available in Fallout 2. It can only be bought in two stores in the wasteland, and is used for some of the rarer weapons in the game. Because the Vindicator minigun has a larger capacity of rounds and shoots more rounds every turn, it is even harder to maintain a sufficient amount of this ammo type in inventory.
