Two types of 7.62 ammo?

Recommended Posts

I did a search and didn't find anything so forgive me if I missed it.

 

I have found two different types of 7.62 ammo in my travels thus far.  At one point I had a mosin and when I tried to load it it said the ammo didn't fit.  I assumed it was a bug so I left it and went on my way.  However later I found more ammo and took a closer look and notice the descriptions to be different.  One box specifically said "Soviet" where as the other just gives a generic description of 7.62 ammo.  

 

I am assuming one is for the mosin (soviet manufacture 7.62x54r) and the other to be for NATO (7.62x51 or .308) 

 

I had heard from someone that if you found the right magazine you you shoot the "NATO" ammo out of a M4 which would not be correct. 

 

I guess I am wondering if anyone else could confirm or deny this. 

 

I am guessing the NATO ammo is in gmae for guns like the M14 when they are added.  I just wish the ammo wasn't in the game yet as I am sure I am not the first person to be confused by the different ammo types.

I've only found one type of 7.62.  Unless you're speaking of the loose rounds compared to the boxes.  In which you have to open the boxes first and extract the rounds before you can load them.

Game will need 3 types when they add the AK-47/AKM/RPK family of weapons and the SKS.

7.62 x 54R, 7.62 x 51 NATO and 7.62 x 39 Soviet.

currently there are 2 types of 7.62 ammo available.

 

7.62x54R and 7.62x39

 

The ammo that you've found belongs to the SKS therefore you're unable to use it with the Mosin.

Aww, makes sense.  I hope they make the descriptions better then to include the xXX number.
