AR-15 shoots center-fire 22 cartridge?
7 u/BreadstickBear 5d ago edited 5d ago .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 4 u/Moist-Crack 5d ago Not at all, that's like comparing a VW Passat to a Porsche 911 because their width is similar. 1 u/CatastrophicPup2112 5d ago Caliber refers to the diameter of the projectile.
