Looks like 7.62mm - the caliber I used in the SADF in the FN FAL. Also used
by the American M240B / M60 range of machine guns by the United States, and
in the FN MAG machine gun used by just about everybody (including Belgium,
England and South Africa). 7.65 (.32) is traditionally, as far as I know, a
small pistol caliber - 7.62 is mostly used in machine guns and older battle
rifles. (5.56 is used in the FN "Minimi" and the M-16A2 and is the de
rigeur these days)

Well modeled though! If you give them a purple ring around the percussion
cylinder they'll look just like the boosted MG ammo we were issued with
once.
