Any semi auto rifle, larger than 22 caliber, including .223. With a detachable mag....

I look up 22lr on wiki.

Bullet diameter 0.223 in

Look up .223 wiki

Bullet diameter 0.224 in (5.7 mm)

So 0.001 is the difference between ASSUALT RIFLE and Rifle?

CLOWN WORLD.

.223/5.56 is the same diameter as .22lr, yes. But the bullets themselves are different dimensions other than the diameter.

It's not the .001 diameter that makes the difference here. Really, the ruling is capricious and arbitrary.

It's the massive difference in the amount of powder.

No, it's important to recognize that the technical differences between .22LR and .223 are meaningless when it comes to the ATF and their ridiculous categorizations have nothing to do with technological facts or effectiveness, and everything to do with feels and optics

Agreed, I was saying the difference in performance s the amount powder. That is the difference in ability. More powder = more speed for a heavier bullet = Higher number on the 'relative index of stopping power'. I forget the exact formula but it's velocity, weight and diameter and it puts it on a scale of 0-as big as you can go. Like a 9mm with typical weight lands around a 48. A .45 with a 230 grain is like a 98, so big difference. A Desert Eagle .50AE with a 300 grain is 600+ so it goes up fast. I know there are a few, just can't remember which exact one.
