Caseless ammunition was developed to improve burst shot capability by eliminating the extraction process, thereby lessening the propensity of the weapon to climb during automatic fire. It is also intended to lighten combat loads, thus permitting more first line ammunition to be carried by soldiers. Finally, it also eliminates brass waste. 2, record 1, English, - first%20line%20ammunition
