    Good rundown. Thanks for not mentioning the moose your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate took down with a .22lr at 1,200 yards with iron sights. There are misconceptions on both sides of the aisle which is why I had to address it hyperbolically. .22lr has some very practical uses and I use mine for pest control almost daily. But when the perimeter alarm goes off in the middle of the night, it's definitely not what I am grabbing.

Bears are still living beings with organs and if those organs are perforated the being cannot sustain its biological processes. Where the problems comes in is that the parts of a bear where .22 can achieve sufficient penetration to perforate the organs are few.
      Also, the size of the perforation matters. A .22 sized hole in a bear’s lung will kill it, in a few minutes to a few hours. A 2 inch hole will kill it now. I wouldn’t want to use something for hunting or defense which isn’t likely to have an immediate effect, if it has one at all.

      I have the CMMG kit, 1500 rounds through it. The mags suck to load, like a lot. My extractor had the tooth chip off so my extraction occurs sometimes. The firing pin spring also broke on it. Honestly, it is not a good tool to teach you how to shoot it is extremely unreliable even before these issues. I have tried expensive CCI all the way yo cheap Aguilla and it gets catastrophic malfunctions every other mag. If I did it again I would buy a used dedicated .22 AR instead. I have not had issues with my gas system but concur that accuracy is nonexistent. Even so, rimfire is frustrating to shoot because every 10 rounds you get a dud, I think rimfire is outdated. Use a 380 to hunt rabbits and at least it will go bang every time. I would not recommend training with rimfire unless you are practicing clearing jams. .22 is very good at jamming any gun.

    She doesn’t enjoy guns or shooting a whole lot, but she enjoys shooting with me, because I’m there, we’re having fun together, and I don’t make her shoot anything that makes her feel uncomfortable. She is comfortable shooting her 22s, and if the world goes to hell I’d rather have her help me with an M&P 15-22 she knows how to use than with a 556 or 308 she’s uncomfortable using.

MILITARY rounds, sure, can go through some serious armor with that caliber, but the general rounds you can get with a 5.7 aren't much different than a 5.56 when it comes to ballistics. Sure it's a pistol vs rifle round, but you might as well be firing a rifle round out of a pistol. That's pretty much what 5.7 is. Either way, point of the matter is, 5.7 is low recoil and high power like a 5.56.

It will shrink your groups down to match ammo size. But when you switch groups of ammo rim thickness you will see your group shift slightly. Rim thickness affects headspace which having that be all over the place will kill your accuracy potential

After 18”, most .22 is done expanding effectively and your barrel actually causes it to slow down, so it’s only more accurate because you’re staying subsonic. It’s the same reason all .22 match ammo is subsonic, going transonic destabilizes the projectile.

    i once used to know a piliot and his go to gun when shot down was suppresed semiauto 22 dont remeber what pistol, basically for hunting and possibly siliently taking out a enemy who might be in the way from him escaping or about to find him, if shot down your in escape and evasion mode not looking for a firefight. Also i think that applies to a get home bugout situiation your not looking for a firefight just to getout of there so being silent and stealthy is key.

    People underestimate 22LR a lot.
    Grandpas old 24in rifle loaded with CCI stingers puts out about as much energy as a 9mm shot from a handgun + it's a hollow point so terminalballistics aren't that much worse.
    Not to mention a good supressed rifle with some good ammo can reach out to 200m while being basically inaudible at that distance.
    The fudlore gives .22 a bad rep.

      @kobi399 27 дней назад +1

      @zorgath420 stingers have 191ftlb of energy vs something like federal 9mm at ~350.
      You can typically reduce the numbers on the box by 30% when you shoot out of a pistol.
      Witch puts the federal at 230ftlb. Witch is not that far away from stingers 191ftlb.

    A Henry with sentimental value, along with a Ruger Silent SR-ISB 10/22, and TBA Sicario Ruger 22/45 you could hunt squirrels in the suburbs with.

    The first gun I ever shot was my dads .22lr M1 carbine clone. It's a really cool gun. Waaaaaaaay back in the day a company in West Germany produced rifles that looked very similar to the M1 carbine but chambered in .22lr. The mags held 15 rounds which at that time was very unusual. The first gun I ever owned was a Marlin model 70 that I inherited from my poppy. I still have it and it still gets shot from time to time. My second gun was a Remington 870 express youth model chambered in 20gauge. It's still a very good shotgun imo. It's a super handy size since it's the youth model.
    Then...I went down the rabbit hole. Next gun was an AKM. Then a Glock 17. Then a bunch of AR15s, more Glocks, some Caniks, Sig, some more AKs, etc.

    Accuracy testing with CCI Stingers are not the best way to test.
    Let me say this: Every 22lr weapon is very ammo specific. With blowback weapons the name of the game is balance and timing. CCI mini mag in a Ruger 10/22 or a Marlin 60 are amazing IF you balance the recoil spring with the round. It's not unlikly to get 1.5inch groups at 100 yards. Also, cheap weapons have places where the handle touches the barrel. If you float the barrel, then you make it more consistent which equals accurate.
    Then find which ammo run most consistent in your weapon and stick with it. 22lr can be finicky but with a few tweeks can be the most accurate thing you shoot inside of 100 yards.

    When I think of small caliber, quiet and light, I think of the MK22 “Hush Puppy” Snake uses in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. It’s a tranquilizer, but the character racks the slide to chamber a new round every time so he doesn’t create a sound signature by the slide recoiling. Since that game is about stealth.

      "Hush-puppy" is a mod you can do on pretty much any 22 pistol. It's a reverse slide lock that keeps the action from cycling when you fire.

    25acp is also a super neat concept and the guns are microscopic in almost any shtf scenarios you can get close to anyone and seem like 0 threat and take any gun you need

    Was literally just thinking yesterday that a 22 rifle for food and ak or ar pistol for cover and run might actually be the most practical apocalypse choice unless you live in an open space.

    Great job guys, very entertaining. I carried a Ruger 10/22, in my truck for years, not willing to risk one of the ARs in the turck. knowing a skilled person with a 22 is still very dangerous. Sadly not long ago I lost that rifle in a breakin of my truck. sad to lose her but happy it wasn't one of my 2k ARs. I'm replacing the 10/22 with a PC9 for my new cheaper truck gun.

    Was writing my name in paper today with that same exact Grey Birch setup at 20. PWS can. So light, so accurate. 🔥

    VIDEO IDEA: shoot a suppressed vs unsuppressed weapon outside of a well insulated home, while keeping record of a decible gage from within the home. Now switch from handguns to rifles and so on.

    One point to consider guys, if .22LR is all you have, or even a .410 shotgun, YOU LEARN PDQ to make it effective. Especially in a defensive role around the homestead. You adapt your tactics to match the ability of the gun you have. If .22 is all you have then PRACTICE, PLANNING and Preparation become very important. And experienced .22LR shooters usually learn to be VERY accurate.
