THE .223-CALIBER RIFLE: CHOICE OF GUN USED IN THREE OF 2012'S MASS SHOOTINGS The shooter in the Connecticut elementary massacre was armed with two handguns and a .223-caliber rifle. The caliber has become popular as 'self-defense' ammunition - but it has also been used in two of this year's mass shootings. The .223 is nearly the same cartridge as the 5.56mm ammunition used in U.S. military M-16 and M4 rifles. The popular civilian version of the military weapons - the AR-15 - fires the .223 cartridge. AR-15 rifles - which are semiautomatic and can fire from magazines of up to 100 rounds - were used by the gunmen in the Aurora, Colorado, movie theater massacre and the shooting at an Oregon shopping mall on Tuesday. Twelve people were killed in Colorado. Three died in Oregon, including the gunman. The light weight, accuracy and long range of the .223 cartridge make it ideal for self defense and military rifles. Sales of AR-15-style rifles have spiked in the United States since the September 11 terrorist attacks. Gun owners have bought millions of them in recent years over fears that new gun regulations will make them harder purchase. As many as 30 percent of the nation's gun owners have an AR-15 or similar semiautomatic rifle. The vast majority are chambered in the .223 ammunition. The most recent .223 designs, such as the Winchester .223 PDX1 projectile have a split core. This ensures that the bullet has a maximum impact on a human target, penetrating and then fragmenting causing a devastating cavity wound. .....
