How about the collapsible stock, higher fire rate, the shorter barrel length, pistol group, and the high capacity [30 round magazine]. Should I continue or do you get the point? They are both dangerous and the caliper is the same but the purpose is different.
Both have the same rate of fire, barrel length, grips and can accept the same magazines. Do you have a point? How does and adjustable stock make one more "danger dangerous"? The only real difference between the two weapons is the bayo lug on the pre-ban. How many drive by bayonettings have you heard about?
In the end, this administration wants to ban all semi-automatic firearms. They will start with what they can claim are assault weapons, but that is just step one. Don't be fooled.
I disagree. My Mini 14 digests either without complaint. The military ammo is loaded a tad hotter. Still no problem.
5.56 ammo has a thicker case neck. When fired in rifles with a .223 chamber (which isn't relieved to allow for the thicker neck) it can result in dangerous pressure spikes. I think (maybe an expert will chime in) that there is no problem shooting .223 in a 5.56, but not the other way around.

I think the differnece it in the length of the neck, not the thickness. The Military version can shoot both, but the NATO round is not recommended for the civilian .223 version, as it would be unsafe. Some ARs are designed to fire both, and the Mini-Ruger 14 can fire both, but as a general rule, it is not recommended.

You are correct. A rifle designed for 5.56 can shoot .223 all day long, but one designed for (only) .223 could experience catastrophic failure if you use 5.56 in it. It's completely possible to shoot 5.56 in a .223 designed weapon and not have problems, but you're playing with fire.
With a gun-grabber in the whitehouse embolding people to start calling to ban assault weapons, I have a question.
What makes this:
More dangerous than this:
They both put identical bullets downrange at identical velocities. Since F=ma, the damage caused by these rifles would be identical. Yet the top one is demonized because it "looks scary". Does that make any sense whatsoever??
If you were to throw both guns into a fire, the first one would off-gas toxic fumes from the melting plastic while the sencond one would just burn, giving off normal smoke.
Flash suppressors do not make the flash invisible. They redirect it in order to have less effect on the vision of the shooter. It's still quite visible to anyone who has the shooter in their field of view.
