It is not known why the 5.56x45mm NATO round disappears in the ''Halo'' universe, but it could be possible that weapons technology advanced so much as to fit enough recoil control systems on a firearm to allow this powerful round be used as an infantry rifle round (the same could apply to the [[M6 series]]).
