Could you use a 5.56 blank for a 22 barrel?

I don't think so. A .22 centerfire uses .224" diameter bullets and a .22 rimfire uses a .222" bullets. Also, the rifling twist would likely be way too fast

Wiki lists dia as .224

SAAMI lists as .2255

Fast twist is what I'm looking for.

My little Glenfield handle subsonics very well with the 1-16 twist, but I suppose some brands may not.
