5.56 millimeter, also known as 5.56mm (Green) in the game, is a type of Ammunition currently used by eight Weapons. The power of 5.56mm is on par (in the same level) with 7.62mm (Blue) Ammunition, but usually considered slightly better. All guns that use 5.56mm ammo are quite reliable and are typically used throughout games.

5.56mm Weapons[]
| Weapon | Image | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| FAMAS |   |
Assault Rifle | Slightly uncommon bullpup burst rifle. Similar to the UMP9, it shoots 3-round bursts but with higher damage and slightly smaller magazine. It is often seen as an upgrade to the UMP9. |
| M416 |   |
Assault Rifle | The most common 5.56mm weapon. Quick fire rate and higher DPS, but low accuracy. It is comparable to a 5.56mm version of the AK-47. |
| M249 |   |
LMG | A very rare LMG. With an extremely large magazine size, fast fire rate, and high DPS, it is considered one of the best guns. |
| Mk 12 SPR |   |
DMR | An uncommon DMR. Although it is similar to the M39 EMR, it is usually considered better due to its higher fire rate, accuracy, and DPS. |
| QBB-97 |   |
LMG | Rare LMG. Mostly found in Meteor Crates, and rarely on the Cabin's Wall Mount. Its properties are that of a somewhat nerfed M249. |
| M4A1-S |   |
Assault Rifle | The very rare and suppressed version of the M416. Only found in Golden Airdrops and Hardstone Boulders, it is well worth the effort due to its very high fire rate and buffed damage. |
| Scout Elite |   |
Sniper Rifle | Somewhat rare Sniper Rifle, found mainly in the Scout Hut. It has low damage for a sniper rifle, in exchange for a quicker fire rate and lower recoil than other sniper rifles. |
| L86A2 |   |
DMR | An event-only bullpup DMR. It has the highest magazine of all DMRs and high damage, capable of killing an unarmored player in 4 shots. Seen as an upgraded Mk 12 SPR, with its only disadvantage as having a marginally lower fire rate than the former. |

Trivia[]
- All guns in-game would use 5.56x45mm NATO in real life.
- The 5.56mm projectiles are green-colored.
- The ammo is based on the 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge, as all 5.56mm weapons in the game use that cartridge in real life.
- The QBB-97 is an exception, as although the version in-game is an export variant that uses 5.56×45mm NATO, non-export versions use its own 5.8×42mm ammo.
- The 5.56mm casing is shown with a rim, even though the real-life cartridge is rimless.
- The real-life AN-94 normally uses 5.45×39mm Soviet, which can be translated to the 5.56mm cartridge. The in-game version however uses the rarer 7.62mm variant.
- The L86A2 is the only 5.56mm gun to have green tracers.
- The shell casing image depicts a rimmed cartridge, which is inaccurate because 5.56x45mm NATO is rimless.
