Unimpeded, a .22LR caliber bullet can travel up to 2000 yards. Its effective distance is, of course, much shorter than that.
It all depends on the hit. Some hits, it can. Others, it won't.
22 magnums actual caliber is .220. If you look at the tip of the bullet 22 mag has a sharp point. On a 22lr it is rounded and 22 mag is bigger around. Look around the rim and it will say 22 magnum or 22 lr.
Very small indeed, a single .22LR bullet is probably no bigger than an inch and a half
22LR high velocity - MV= 1260 fps 17 HMR MV= 2550 fps A lot faster, huh?
When a bullet is fired through a rifled barrel, the lands and grooves of the rifling make marks on the bullet. These marks are called striations, and can be used to match a bullet to the gun that fired it. That DOES include .22 caliber bullets. However, .22LR ammo has a soft lead bullet- if it strikes a hard surface, it may be so badly damaged that the striations are obliterated.
LR stands for Long Rifle which means the pistol uses a .22LR caliber bullet
Normal effective range is 50 yds, maxing out at 100 yards. The 22LR bullet CAN travel about 1.5 miles. but with no accuracy.
The typical AR15 fires the same type of bullet as the M16: a .223 caliber (5.56mmx45mm NATO) round. There are AR-15 rifles that have special barrels made for a variety of popular cartridges, even the little .22LR.
.223 inches for the .22LR, .224 inches for the .22 WMR.
No. They're not even remotely close to being the same. The two bullets are the same caliber but that is where the similarity ends. The M-16 bullet is about 3 times the length of a 22LR, completely different in shape, about 4 times the weight, etc. Also the cartridge used in the M-16 has more than 10 times the powder than a 22LR, giving much higher muzzle velocity.
It fires a 22LR projectile. "Power" will depend on bullet weight and velocity.
