You're /still/ looking at a clip-size roughly 50 to 60 percent smaller than
it should be to hold the rounds. Caseless rounds aren't all that much
smaller than cased rounds, but because the propellant blocks are square,
you can fit 10 to 15 percent more in the same volume as cased rounds.
They're also about 25 percent lighter than cased.
The clips in the movie should be holding 10 to 15 rounds, tops, given their
volume, which is totally useless for a fully automatic battle rifle.
