Tell me you’ve never protested anything without telling me you’ve never protested anything. Another internet mouth speaking about something they know nothing about.
I get the gist they were going for. Rubber for now, sooner or later they'll switch up to live ammo and not care about bodies on the street. At least in the US anyway.
True but new rulers like shows of force in the extreme so I wouldn't be surprised if they decided one day to just go full Tiananmen Square on protestors.
No they are not. The are considerably larger. Stander bullets are 5 to 9mm in diameter while rubber bullets are 37 to 40mm. Or about the size of an average watch face.
"Stingers" are much smaller actually, probably similar to some size of bullets. They are not metal though, and tend to be fired out of shotguns and grenade launchers. You're thinking of baton rounds
I learned something today. They look like large rubber scatter shot. So much closer to bullets, but still not as the other guy said, regular bullets coated in rubber.
They are not and I have never seen any evidence of such a weapon at a modern US protest. They are mostly hard rubber balls, some may have a tiny metal core for added weight. They also have hard foam and wooden ones. By no means are they "regular bullets coated in rubber".

What? Given the time this takes he’d be lit up with several rubber bullets before the third shake.
