Storage

It stacks up to 100 per slot in structure and vehicle inventories except in ammo slots dedicated to it (varying stack sizes). It can be stored in stockpiles of Bases (32k max).
Crates of 7.92mm can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content. The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depots (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Seaports (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).

It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots. However it is much more efficient to transport it in bulk amounts as crates, either delivering them to a Base's stockpile with a Truck or to a crate stockpile with shipping vehicles carrying Shipping Containers.

Trivia

  • As 7.92mm ammunition in Foxhole is used in both vehicle-mounted light machine guns and storm rifles, it appears to represent two different real-world equivalent ammunition sizes despite having a uniform damage profile.
    • 7.92x33mm Kurz was the world's first mass-produced intermediate cartridge, developed in Germany for use in experimental assault rifles. Meant to be a compromise round for a more flexible weapon, it was much shorter than standard rifle cartridges but still longer and more powerful than the pistol calibers used in SMGs, allowing it to retain accuracy and range while also making fully automatic fire from a light weapon easier to control. This is the same niche occupied by Foxhole's Storm Rifles.
    • During the period of time from which Foxhole draws inspiration, most armies used the same ammunition in their infantry rifles and their machine guns, usually something close to 7.62mm. However, Foxhole's vehicle-mounted light machine guns do not use 7.62mm or 12.7mm for game balance reasons, so 7.92mm is employed instead. These guns can include greater effective ranges and significantly wider magazine models than Storm Rifles, implying a longer cartridge.
