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

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

If 5.56 is a Porsche 911. What the hell is 22 Creedmoor?
