TRUMP. NOTHING BUT TRUMP

So that you know:

0.223" caliber (US) is 5.56 mm (NATO)


to a trained ear the 1^st shots .223; the return volleys were .30

Yeah . . . not quite true . . . regarding .223 and 5.56.

A 5.56 rifle can chamber and fire .223 ammo.  However, a weapon chambered exclusively for .223 CANNOT fire 5.56, without conversion.

The reason:  5.56 is a higher velocity round than .223 AND the casing has a longer throat than a .223.

I own a bolt action 5.56 and also fire .223 through the same weapon.

I heard the reports of the first shots fired.  That's why I stated .223 or 5.56.

Depending on the weapon used, my second guess would have been a .300 Blackout round (soft report) and widely available to be fired in weapons chambered for 5.56.
