The insanity of the Morita
Seriously, how the hell does it fit 60 rounds of 7.62x51mm into such a small magazine? Does the Federation put a pocket dimension at the bottom of each clip?

Even worse, it held like 120 rounds in the 2005 game.

I don't think even a dual drum could hold that many.

You and I both know outside of specifics the terms are interchangeable.

I mean it doesn't specifically say 7.62 NATO so it might be caseless ammo like 7.62 Gerasimenko
You see the ammunition it uses in the first film, its 7.62 NATO with oversized bullets (in real life, blank wooden bullets?).

Very often, since the number of rounds to kill a bug is so inconsistent.

Well yeah those are just STANAG 5.56 mags in the movie. So I would just chalk it up to hollywood mags at the end of the day... there's no way that a mag that tall would hold those many rounds.
The in-lore round is 7.62, but yeah what's actually used is 5.56.

The live-fire weapons used in the first movie were made out of a Ruger Mini-14/AC556 with an exaggerated muzzlebrake and an Ithaca 37 shotgun that were both attached to a bullpup shell. In the movie they were slinging 5.56/.223 shells out of the AC556's that were live-fired.

Those are certainly all words to me.

You require an education in firearms, brother.

An AC556 is pretty much just a Ruger Mini-14 but full-auto for military and police purposes. Just look up a Ruger Mini-14 and that is the gun the Morita is based on. They slapped it into a large shell so it looks like the Morita rifle . They did the same thing in Aliens, the live-fire pulse rifles in that movie were based on an M1A1 tommy gun and a SPAS-12 shotgun attached to a metal frame to make it look cool.

Can't simplify it more than that.

No they aren't. You know they aren't. The only reason they could ever be considered interchangeable is for litmus testing purposes only.

The average person doesn't know the difference so why bother?

"This is a ghost gun, it has ability with a thirty caliber clip to disperse with thirty bullets within half a second"

"Thirty...Magazine clip...In half a second"

Likely using improved propellant which could potentially decrease how big the case has to be without reducing the caliber, allowing more to fit into simular mag dimensions. A simular explanation was given by Marcus Lehto for Halo CE's 60 round AR.
