.223 is “twenty-two caliber,” isn’t it?

There was an extremely interesting display of shooting by a female weapons expert on Hannity last week. She has won various awards for her marksmanship. Anyway, she demonstrated the holes in targets, created by firing an AR-15, revolvers and semi-auto pistols, up thru shotgun slugs and shells. The .223 was a tiny hole. The shotgun slug created a huge hole, and a 12 gauge shot shell obliterated the target. She said anti-gun people are needlessly targetting the AR-15 type weapons, but personally she would fear the shotgun more than the others. Every citizen hearing the B.S. from Feinstein and others idiots needs to see a demonstration of how small the caliber actually is.
