It ain’t the ammo, it’s the gun. I know I’m a little late to the discussion, but any decent AR platform is designed for 5.56 ammo and will shoot .223 no problem.

That's what we here eventually found out with the links at #112 and #116, despite some here getting their diapers all in a bunch over someone claiming that there was a lot of 5.56 brass casings all over the floor while the state police list the weapon used as a Bushmaster 223 caliber model XM15-E2S rifle.

Since 5.56 and 223 ammunition are apparently interchangeable in that model, it wouldn't be surprising to find a lot of one or the other or both.

Either way, whether 5.56 or 223 or a mix of each, the brass casings would point to the Bushmaster.

What I am dismayed about is your RIDICULOUS postings.

A person with inside information posts that 5.56 bullets are on the scene.

I know nothing about guns.

I do the research and as I find it I post it on the thread.

Yet, you continue to misdirect.

What’s the big deal if 5.56 casings are found. One has to do the research to find out if it is big deal or not.

As it turns out it MAY be a big deal

5.56 do different damage to a body than .223

I watched a video done by our military as they were capturing a group. They videotaped bullet casings. As it turns out, the bullet casings can remain intact and they have a stamp on them.

So was the insider right that 5.56 bullets were used.

IF there .223 and 5.56 casings on scene there may have been two shooters.

It still remains to be scene why the brother of the shooter’s residence had swat teams and area cordoned off that night.

And it still remains to be seen if Adam went to Hoboken to kill someone as was reported.

Unlike YOU, I actually do post whole information.

Such as the case with the 5.56 bullet.
