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.
