Tactical Life featured this parody song, which brings a bit of humor to the gun world by poking fun at the confusion surrounding 5.56 and .223.

What makes this song so great is that we’ve all been there at some point. No matter how much we think we know about the world of firearms, the differences between 5.56 and .223 can act as a stumbling block for some of the most veteran gun aficionados.

And just in case you were wondering, we’ll give you a quick reminder of the major distinctions between these two rounds. There are minor differences in things like casing thickness, but the real issue boils down to what gun you use to fire the rounds.
