I am from Europe and so certain kinds of guns are very expensive... once I get a license I want to purchase a rifle but I can’t seem to decide between buying an M16/M4 style rifle in “5.56“ or “.223”.
You can use either in a gun built for 556 but not the other way around.

Would using a .223 round in a 5.56 gun be as effective as using it in a .223 gun?

Which purpose?

Mainly target shooting but I will hunt with it if I’m allowed. I’m not sure what kind of animals are available to hunt but it’ll most likely be deer.

>I am from Europe and so certain kinds of guns are very expensive Easy faggot, since they're that expensive, turn to the balck market and fuck the licence, it will be costing you about the same, maybe even less compared to an armory in a big city.

I don't know for sure, but it's lower pressure. I just know it will work plus 5.56 has the advantage of using milsurp ammo. I believe .223 is better for accuracy if that's what you want. Not an expert, ask /k/.

Wrong board, hoss. >>/k/
Jace Collins
No thanks, I don’t break the law. An unlicensed gun is of no use to me.
David Kelly
wait faggot.. where in Europe except Switzerland can you own an automatic rifle, permit or no permit?? Also where in fuck's name can you hunt with a assault rifle???
Aaron Davis
buy 5,56, cuz that can shoot .223 as well, but not the other way around also european here
Jackson Lee
It’s not going to be automatic but I’m sure in most countries in Europe if you have the correct license you can own automatic rifles. I have no idea where you can hunt with an assault rifle.
Christian Morgan
thread. also, why didn't OP go to /k/ ?
Brandon Long
If it's not automatic you can buy and mp5 in Italy, i saw many on range... I would check hunting limitation on ammo before buying anything..
Hudson Peterson
I didn’t even notice /k/ existed also this is Sup Forums so I thought I’d make a bit of a random thread.
Cooper Murphy
this is correct! Yes, but using .223 would just be cheaper to shoot. If you needed it to be more effective you would just use 5.56 nato ammo.
Kayden Foster
just asking where because i have seen the requirements for a AR licence in France, Germany, the NL and others and it's basically made to be impossible to get, let alone a permit for a full auto rifle. Italy is indeed a notable exception but that's bound to change as weel Also the hunting laws in most EU countries will forbid you to hunt with that thing. To take the Swiss example, the most leniant country when it comes to guns in western europe, as far as i know at least, even military reserve officers are faced with random house visits by the police to control their firearmsa nd this gets painful when you own an unmodified assault rifle of sub-mg. They'll check when your weapon has last fired, will run through all logs available to them to know even how many bullets were fired etc.
Noah Fisher
doing the board a favour, not yourself.
Sebastian Campbell
who the fuck goes to anywhere other than Sup Forums?
1. /k/ 2. .223/5.56 is the same thing. I doubt many guns will be built .223 specifically and won't handle 5.56 because of the slight difference and lawsuits that would follow 3. Your ammo is going to be .223. Unless you're even more retarded and are going to buy green tip 5.56 to plink with 4. The platform is over rated. Get yourself some euro milsurp that us americans fudd over daily.
