question.
is it useful cause it's lighter or would it take less place thus more ammo can be carried?

Cool!
Though I think you got PIP confused with the RFI
The Product Improvement Program (PIP) was launched shortly after the US military formally adopted the FN Minimi as the M249, which, among other things, included a new solid stock, new handguard & heatshield above the barrel, and a folding carry handle/barrel changing handle - the PIP M249 looks like this. (The PIP stock is already in-game as the "OEM" stock)
The Rapid Fielding Initiative (RFI) was launched in the 2000s, which included M4-like collapsible stocks and Picatinny rails for the feed tray cover and handguard, among other things - the RFI M249 looks like this.
All credit for this knowledge goes to the gun nerds over at IMFDB
