No idea. It would make sense though. It would be strange to use a standard NATO round specification but require special versions of that round. There’s nothing about how it works that suggests it should need special bullets. The rotating barrel and firing mechanism are different, but otherwise it’s just a machine gun.
Oh, prices are going down. Can it really just use any 7.62x51?
In bulk maybe. But my .308 rounds are generally ~$30 for 20 depending on certain factors.
That’s crazy cheap since the last time I bought bullets. Maybe I need to jump on this.
