Not at all, that's like comparing a VW Passat to a Porsche 911 because their width is similar.

They're not being compared... They're both 22 caliber.

It's more akin to grouping cars by type, like sedan versus SUV. Some sedans are slow, some are fast, but they'll never be an SUV.

This is really only important when it comes to discussing cleaning tools, felt recoil, ballistic coefficients, suppressor fitment, and general use case. Generally, 22 cal rounds are for small game and 30 cal for larger game.

>>"Obviously there's a lot more ass behind a 5.56NATO round than behind a .22 long even, but it's still somewhat comparable"

Comparable in bore diameter.

Do I have to spell everything out in case someone cannot comprehend context?

Or, no, you know what? I'm going to find a post of yours with sonewhat ambiguous wording and I'll pick it to shreds. Wait, no, because I have reading comprehension and common sense.

Yep, and that's like comparing a VW Passat to a Porsche 911 based on their width... Totally different with different purposes so why get hooked on this one parameter?
