What Does This PR Do

Title. Also changes a few names and descriptions for readability.

Does not change any stats of the weapon or its ammunition.

Why It's Good For The Game

The L6 being chambered in 5.56 didn't make much sense given its higher damage and relatively low magazine capacity. Also, the icon for the bullet it fires is literally called a 7.62 round already.

Testing

  • loaded in
  • observed weapon and ammo
  • fired weapon
  • success

Declaration

  • I confirm that I either do not require pre-approval for this PR, or I have obtained such approval and have included a screenshot to demonstrate this below.

Changelog

🆑
tweak: Changed L6 to 7.62, changed a few descriptions and names.

Stop me if I'm wrong, but we still have other weapons that use 556 casings. Namely the MGL-90 or something similar.

We do, but the L6 does more damage than they do. The L6 bullets also can't be used by the M-90 or M26, last I checked. They use a different 5.56 round.

This is the round the M-90GL Carbine uses. Which is only used by that weapon. Seems good, approval given on that regard, let me look into the rest of it.

FN Minimi is much more commonly chambered in 5.56x45 or in the case of the M249 SAW purely a 5.56x45 weapon. A 7.62x51mm version does exist, it's what the prototype was originally chambered in but it's not nearly as produced as the 5.56x45 version. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_Minimi#Minimi_7.62

You might have confused it with the FN MAG or M240 which only uses 7.62x51mm.

Ultimately does this matter? Not really. The L6 can be whatever we want it to be, it's not a real gun.
