A Icon Item 5.56x45mm NATO magazine 5.56x45mm NATO magazine is an ammunition item that can be used to load any type of rifle as well as Icon Block Interior Turret Interior Turrets.

In Update 1.198 ("Warfare 1: Field Engineer"),[1] the ability to produce them in assemblers was removed due to an overhaul to handheld weaponry. Their purpose was superseded by the Icon Item MR-20 Magazine MR-20, Icon Item MR-50A Magazine MR-50A, Icon Item MR-8P Magazine MR-8P, and Icon Item MR-30E Magazine MR-30E magazines, however, 5.56x45mm NATO magazines still exist in the game.

5.56x45mm NATO magazines can still be found inside cargo containers and interior turrets of older grids, including some of the Cargo Ships and Random Encounters that can be enabled in the World Settings when creating or loading a saved game.

Strategy[]

Unlike the newer magazine types, 5.56x45mm NATO magazines can be loaded into every type of rifle in the game: the Icon Item MR-20 Rifle MR-20, Icon Item MR-50A Rifle MR-50A, Icon Item MR-8P Rifle MR-8P, and Icon Item MR-30E Rifle MR-30E rifles.

Rifles (as well as turrets) loaded with a 5.56x45mm NATO magazine will always load 30 bullets from it. All of the gun's other stats remains the same as it does with its normal type of ammunition, making the 5.56x45mm NATO magazines particularly useful for Icon Item MR-8P Rifle MR-8P Rifle (which would otherwise only get 8 bullets from its Icon Item MR-8P Magazine MR-8P Magazines).

Using 5.56x45mm NATO magazines to loadIcon Block Interior Turret Interior Turrets is not recommended, as they only contain 30 bullets as opposed to the Icon Item MR-50A Magazine MR-50A Magazine's 50.
