The AR-15 typically uses .223 Remington or 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition. These cartridges are similar but not identical; the 5.56 NATO is loaded to higher pressures. The choice of ammunition can affect the rifle's performance, accuracy, and recoil. Other calibers can also be used with the appropriate upper receiver conversions.

Yes, a Colt AR-15 can fire 5.56mm ammunition, provided it is specifically chambered for it.

Always check the markings on the barrel or consult the manufacturer to ensure compatibility before use.
Can 5.56 ammo be fired safely from a colt ar 15 rifle?
Depends. What is the caliber of the AR-15 rifle? If it marked 5.56, yes. If it marked .223, no. While you MAY fire 5.56x45 ammo in a .223, they are NOT the identical cartridge, and it is not a good (or safe) practice. .223 ammo can be safely fired in a rifle chambered in 5.56 mm. The 5.56 chamber is cut a bit longer than .223 to help insure operations in the field in the presence of dirt, etc. 5.56 NATO ammo is also loaded to a higher pressure than .223. So- to recap- 5.56 in a .223- NO. .223 in a 5.56- yes.
