The 5.56 is for firing ballistically-matched tracers for sighting in. /credible

EDIT: it actually fucking isn't and they built this as a sort of proto-OICW. Never got beyond two prototypes because even the Swedes thought it was demented.

I keep trying to justify the thinking by relating it to fears about the BMP, but no matter which way you slice it this is so much sillier than adopting or copying the already existing M72 and widely distributing it for platoon/squad level, lightweight, firstline IFV killing.
