I was wondering if anyone has knowledge if .223 rubber bullets exist. I would love to have a Mag of them, i got the idea because i always here in the news the Israeli's fired rubber bullets....... and i know they have M16's are they shooting .223 rubber bullets or is there a special rubber bullet gun? If someone can enlighten me it would be greatly appreciated, and if you know where i can buy them it would like wise be appreciated

I think they are firing them out of 12GA pump guns

 

A .223 rubber bullet would

-not cycle the action, so it would suck in any auto .223 (which is EVERY .223 used by the military)

-would probably penetrate skin due to small size

-probably wouldnt feed either, even if it matched the profile of a ball round

 

Those are all the reasons why they use 12ga pump guns for these. They can make them big and slow flying, not worry about cycling the action (since its pump), and not worry about feeding due to the design of a shotgun/shell

 

 

"The M-16 is a 5.56mm weapon, which is too small a caliber for an effective

non-penetrating round. If you fire a 5.56mm projectile slowly enough that

it won't punch holes through people, it won't have enough energy to do

much of anything at all. It would be the functional equivilant of a

BB gun.

 

"Rubber bullet" rounds for the M-16 and similar weapons are steel spheres

half an inch or so in diameter coated with a thin layer of rubber or plastic.

They are loaded, singly and from the muzzle, into a cylindrical tube attached

to the barrel of the weapon, and launched by firing a blank cartridge from

the rifle. "

I don't think so.

Rubber buck shot in a shotgun yes.

I have a bunch of these

no sure if they are NJ legal.

Rubber .223 bullets are not considered "non-lethal" for the fact they have killed and blinded scores of people.

 

If you are having a problem that you think could be solved by having them, think twice.

Do they even exist? There's an F of a lot of pressure, temp, friction, and velocity involved in .223. Not to mention an extremely small diameter bore and an elastomeric projectile. That's a curiosity I'd like to hear more about. I would guess they have a smaller poweder charge just to start with.

I make no claim to know even close to most things but if there were such a thing a rubber 223 bullets I'm sure I would have heard of them. Rubber bullets for crowd control are usually shot from 12 ga and (at least the ones I've seen) are like a buckshot load with larger balls. People have been killed and blinded by them so they can be categorized "as usually less than lethal".
