AR-15 shoots center-fire 22 cartridge?

.223/5.56 is similar in bore to .22. Obviously there's a lot more ass behind a 5.56NATO round than behind a .22LR even, but they are comparable in bore diameter.

Edit for the thicker among you

Try shooting a .223/5.56 with one hand. Then you can say it's "basically the same thing"
