The Civilian and military version of the M-4 semi-auto rifle uses .22 (.224) caliber small centerfire rifle rounds. preferably 55 grain full metal jacketed rounds (most common). The grain refers to the weight of the projectile itself. One could fire a heavier grain projectile depending on what velocity and performance you prefer and attempting to match the bullet to the type of barrel on the rifle itself. Remington popularized calling the round simply a .223. NATO calls the round a 5.56.
5.56 is equvalant to 5.56 mm
.224 is 224/1000th of an inch

The M4 is the basic weapon system for the modern infantry soldier. It is usually equipped with a M68 red dot sight. A standard combat load for a soldier carrying an M4 is 400 rounds of ammunition. Are you serious? 400 rounds is not the STANDARD combat load. The M16A4 is the standard basic weapon but is being replaced by the M4. A red dot is definitely not the standard sight.
