Cataclysm-dda: 5.56 NATO M855A1 is not 5.56mm
Describe the bug
5.56 NATO M855A1 is not 5.56mm, it's 223 for some reason.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Start/load a game.
- Wish for/find some 5.56 NATO M855A1 rounds
- Inspect said ammo
- Scratch head
Expected behavior
Ammo to be the correct size especially when the size is part of the name?
Screenshots
Additional context
Probably just a tyop in the json file. Can't really complain since my survivor is currently using it as .223 ammo but it's weird and definitely not correct. It's an easy fix but I won't be able to do it until at least saturday.

5.56 and .223 are different rounds of the same caliber.
They are not always (safely) interchangeable in real life due to some gun barrels not being rated for the more powerful 5.56 -- but Cataclysm does not currently simulate that. Their external dimensions, however, are the same.

Well, today I learned whoever created the naming scheme for ammo deserves to receive some "excited" ones.
