Yes, it's a lot louder. Especially if you add a muzzle break.

The recoil is negligible on both - but the .223/5.56mm has a lot sharper, and louder 'crack' when it goes off.

You would not get away with shooting it in your back yard if the .22 made your neighbors look around... they would run inside, there is qutie a significant difference... look at the extra powder being burned...
Also, see the four rules... What lies beyond. |

MORE supersonic crack? That's a bunch of crack. You either break the sound barrier or you don't.

Are you sure about that? Jet's make pretty loud sonic booms. Louder, i think, than a 5.56 round.

Size of the object making the sonic boom...
The .223 is louder based on bass... a lot more gunpowder, and a slightly larger projectile (55 or 62 grain (standards here) vs a 40grain). It's more so the powder, the open bolt (semi-auto), and g0d forbid a muzzle brake directing that sound business. =) |
