The ammo can attached to this asset is marked as containing M993 ammo but this round was not available IRL until 1992. The M61 AP round would be the earlier equivalent. Credit to @DiabloHelmetcam on Twitter for the image.
I assume AP ammo was used for better penetration in the jungle of Vietnam although the preferred combat load was 1 M62 (tracer) + 4 M80 (ball), still used to this day.
