Quite surprised too. Great series
Hey! Weird place for this but wondering what would happen if you shot a block of hardened hot glue? Would bullets expand like in water?
Do an experiment...bullets frozen vs. warm. My .22 shorts seem much weaker in the cold.
I think your channel is a lot of fun as well. Cool to see you post here.
I've always thought that .22 of all sizes is one of the most underrated of all calibers.
Let me say this about the .22 short...because I have a special relationship with the cartridge.
I was a police officer for 36 years, 43 years if you count working as a Senate LE liaison (I don't).
During those 36 years I was shot 3 times. The first time was in 1975 by a guy armed with an Astra Cub pistol chambered in .22 short.
In the confrontation he pointed that gun in my direction and ordered him to drop his gun, looking at him over the sights of my Colt Trooper MKIII .357 Magnum in a two hand hold. He chose to disregard my order and fired one shot which hit my left (supporting) hand. That proved to be a very bad decision for him to make.
I didn't notice the wound immediately. The bullet never exited my hand and they found it in the meaty part of my thumb at the hospital. It was a solid bullet, no expansion. I was treated and released from the hospital. After the adrenaline wore off...it HURT LIKE HELL!!!!!!!
Had it not hit my hand, it could have easily hit my head or neck and my day may have turned out much worse.
Hence the phrase..."If you shoot me with that thing, and I find out about it, I'm going to be really mad!"
In any case...not my choice for self defense, but it is no toy!
Happy New Year Buffalo!
woww ig that means a short is not 100% deadly if it just got stopped by a thumb but damn still scary You said you got shot 3 times?? what were the other 2?
@@FirmeVatito702 A 9mm in the chest (stopped by a kevlar vest) and, the worst, a .25-06 rifle to my right leg (calf). It took 14 months until I could walk again without braces/crutches.
The shot from the 9mm left me with a severe bruise and a lot of pain, but nothing else.
Thank you for testing 22 Shorts! I grew up shooting an old Winchester single shot, that would only chamber Shorts. I took all kinds of critters with it over the years from magpies to prairie dogs! With iron sights, it could do everything my buddy's rifle shooting .22 Long Rifle could do. My son has that gun today, and still has fun shooting it occasionally. I really enjoy your channel.
I just bought one of the naa 22 shorts because of your videos. Now I know to keep it loaded with the round nose bullets.
Makes me sad that the series is ending I hope you’ll keep it going, it’s been fun!
I watch all your videos on that little Derringer my mom has the 22 magnum Derringer just like that and she carries that everywhere she goes cause she carries another 38 underneath her seat of a truck so it’s just amazing and she’s 70 years old so that goes to show you that she was thinking right old school😂
I can't thank you enough for the chronograph data. Almost no none does that, but it is data that tells so much more of the story.
Wow,that little 22 short surprised me a lot! Out of that long barrel I would have never guessed that penetration distance. Great video series Buffalo thank you enjoyed.
Great series. Because of these videos I purchased one of these NAA .22 short revolvers. My friends laughed at me for doing so until I showed them this series of videos. I would not want to be on the receiving end of one of these. Strictly up close and personal. Thanks for the series.
This has been a very enlightening series on the 22short. Results were different that expected. The roundnose is looking pretty good. Thank you for your time. Very enjoyable. Maybe 22 longs next? 😆 🙏 👍
Only CCI makes them, they basically duplicate the 22 short loads in the longer casing.
This has been a fun series to watch. Most memorable moment has to be shaving cream penetration test. Thanks a ton for putting all this together for us to watch.
Have a Happy New Year man.
A great series, and a great message at the end. Thanks Buffalo
That little guy is not toy. If a shooter can pull off quick shots with it and hit with most rounds from very close distance - considering the hollow points had to be completely sideways inside of the target at some point to end up backwards, that would be a very bad day for about anyone on the recieving side. Which i'm fairly surprised about! Fun series, i had great pleasure watching it!
May I compliment you on your humility and keeping the language and subject matter PG. I can watch your channel with my 7 year old granddaughter and know she will be hearing wholesome content. Keep on keeping on!
Thank you for this series. I'm thoroughly convinced that I do not want to get shot by one of those little pea shooters. Great presentations throughout the entire series!
That is very impressive!! Even ol dummy me was surprised by those results. Guess it just goes to show that you really never know what you're going to get. Great series Buffalo!!! Thanks for doing what you do.
This was a fascinating, Informative and fun series to watch. I have respect for that little cartridge now. Thank you for doing this testing.
Nice work and have a great 2023
This might be my favorite science channel now lol Great series Buff,enjoyed it! 👍😃✌️🇺🇸 and Happy New Year 🎉
Great test video. I have made what I consider to be significant use of .22 short over the years. The CCI hollow point ammo has been my preferred load. But there were others used at different times. Snakes, rats, squirrels, and more have met their end courtesy of one of the most useful and efficient cartridges ever designed. There were some situations where I absolutely did not want penetration on vermin inside a building. I modified the CCI hollow point with a drill bit to a huge cavity and very thin skirt walls. Probably was down to 23-25 grains. It would fragment the front portion and leave only a tiny flat of the base as a possible exit fragment. Almost complete energy dump on rats a few feet away most of the time, with very little exiting if at all. .22 Short doesn't get noticed much these days, but for those of us with very specific needs they truly are a magic pill. I might add that .22 Shorts are so light and compact that you can pack and carry them almost 2:1 over long rifle ammo. If outfitting a wilderness kit, it is probably something to consider. .22 short solids can kill birds such as grouse or even smaller without much excess damage for a fast snack in the skillet. If your .22 is a manually operated rifle or a revolver it's simple. If your .22 is an auto, you can single load the short cartridges directly into the chamber and they will fire. It's up to the user whether or not that is useful for your situation or not. All in all I am a firm believer in .22 short utility.
I gotta say, except for the cell phone, this little 'Shorty Short' has exceeded my best guess every time.
Shorts did better than I thought they would , thanks
Wow the speed of the shorts surprised me also. That little revolver been a good ride for sure. Been fun for sure take care
Thanks Scott. It has been fun. Happy New Year!
Crazy results that little gun ain't no joke
An eye-opening comparison, Buff! And a very enjoyable series. Thumbs up! When you began this series and asked for viewers to vote on whether they'd like you to shoot the hollow points or the round noses, I asked for both and was obviously voted down, but I still wish you had shot both at every target.
I didn’t know Henry would shoot shorts Thanks for the video
This was a great series, I really enjoyed it 👍 amazing what that little 22 short was able to do. Happy New year Buffalo
Thank you Buffalo. This has been a really fun series. I hope you do one with a magnum revolver like the Sidekick.
Very good--without goofy music !!!
.22 short high velocity is no joke!
.22 short proving itself as the OG self contained cartridge. It isn't the top self defence round, but no one in their right mind would step in front of one
Thanks Buffalo and HAPPY NEW YEAR ONE AND ALL.
Thank you Buff for your content…praying that you and yours have a blessed New Year 🙏🙏🙏
I was definitely surprised at how well the revolver did. Thanks for the video to enjoy!
Well done and informative. Thank you.
Thanks, just what I needed to see. Not many Short 22 tests. I have a few boxes of the rdnose. I hand load them in my Ruger 10/22. Should do a group test at 30yds. Like to see your Ruger soon.
Sounds like you found your CCW round! Might want to upgrade to a Beretta Minx though.
Too much recoil. I'm looking for something a little more mild.
@@buffalosoutdoors 😆 Wish they'd quit loading those .22 shorts so stankin' hot.
You might want to find a smaller revolver chambered for .22 Colibri.
Has anyone compared the size of the revolver and the beretta 950bs? It does seem like follow up shots would be quicker with the beretta but im curious if the nas is any smaller. Id guess that the revolver is lighter
I am very surprised that penetration wasn’t greater out of the rifle than the revolver with the hollow point. Maybe that was standard deviation.
@@CJ4S147 Ballistics is tricky sometimes. Increased impact velocity can sometimes shorten penetration. All depends on the factors involved.
Best series EVER! Thank you!
I just knew that the rifle would have got more penetration that the tiny revolver … boy was I wrong and blowed my mind that it went the same distance . Crazy results but enquiring minds wanted to know and now we do. Thanks Buffalo this was a great series! Edited for spelling.
That gel block looks like a block of ice looking at your background. Sunny and 30 degrees Centigrade on the Gold Coast Australia.
Always enjoy your channel Buffalo best on RUclips.
Thank you for focusing on the 😅
😊22
Impressed.
Hey Buffalo, Nice video, especially in the cold. All the best to you and family in 2023.
Awesome series Buffalo. There sure were some surprises along the way.
Great stuff Buffalo 👏 Thanks for sharing 👍
I will be missing this series of the 22 short. I found it very interesting. It is surprising what that small round can do. I would be interested to see what other things this cartridge can penetrate
Thanks very much for another excellent video. And your Henry pump looks great with those Skinner peep sights.
Wow!!
Yet another excellent and informative video!!
I love .22 calibre guns and to see the .22 short perform so admirably is quite comforting (well, for me, at least)
Thank-you, once more, for your willingness to produce these videos, for us.
Truly excellent!!
I never would have thought that at the end of 2022, I’d be watching a video on .22 shorts. When I was a kid, 1970’s, I’d shoot a mixed bag of .22 short, long, and long rifle. Back then, many adults told me that the .22 short would soon become obsolete. Yet, here we are. Very interesting video. Thank you and Happy New Year!
Developed in 1857, it's America's first metallic cartridge. For that reason, it should never go away.
That is surprising of the mighty mini 22 short . Thanks Buffalo
👍👍enjoyed the series,thanks Buffalo. Some very interesting results.
Definitely lethal with a good shot placement
When I was a kid I remember the 22 shorts tearing up critter more than the LRs.
Not too shabby, that is something with the speeds being different!
Biscuits & Black pepper gravy.I think I just gained 2 pounds watching this video.Very fun series to watch.I feel that over the past few years that 22 rimfire rounds have been over looked and underrated.Thanks for doing this series of videos.
My grandpap uses shorts for gophers in box traps, I used one of them to shoot at one that was standing up 50yards away. It jumping in the air ran in a circle and down its hole, been kicking myself for an hour for not grabbing a LR hollowpoint.
Thanks Buffalo, another great little test I would have never guessed. I've been using the CCI 22 short hollow point for years to dispatch varmints at close range in both traps n feed sacks, ect. Seemed like it always expanded, but it hit bone I'm sure. All I know is shoot them between the eyes and it kills them dead with no noise to scare the neighbors.
I have been using .22 shorts starting in the year 19 and 58 when my oldman gave me a Colt .22 revolver to go squirrel hunting with him. He told me to use .22 shorts because they don't go through the squirrel. That all the power was contain within the squirrel takes 100 percent of the hit. He said it also knocks the squirrel out of the tree. This was very important information to an 8 year old boy. Because if that squirrel died in the tree, guess who the oldman sent up the tree to fetch it.
I am also surprised at the results. Just for grins a couple of rounds of LR .22 from each gun, in the same gel block, just to know... Yeah, there's always one that wants more... Really enjoyed this series. Thank you so very much for what you do! Makes me have a healthier respect for the short. Thanks again and Happy New Year!
Top bloke, thanks as always Buffalo
👍😊 don’t underestimate the short especially the 29 gr round nose.
Thank you!!
job well done...
I love surprises
Great series
This has been a fun series
Thanks bud.. Good video, delivered as promised. Cold days
Total surprise with the round nose penetration from the rifle!
Very interesting. I was surprised by some things too. Great job on this series. I've really enjoyed this.
God bless all here.
It's more capable and lethal than most give it credit for. Thanks, Happy New year!
Super interesting Buffalo, thank you!!
Good Evening , Buffalo
I can tell you right now ,
That I most really enjoy your videos very much and I can see the hard work that you put into each and every video !
Take Care and Be Safe
Those would be perfect for bullfrogs - if there were any! Happy New Year Buffalo!
Thanks for another great video. The results were very informative and a little unexpected.
Thanks Mr Buffalo😃
Love my Henry pump. Shorts run smooth.
Oh wow. I didn't even know they still made .22 short. I refinished my grandfather's old Stevens 15A. I should get a box for it, just to see how well it works. I can't use .22 short in my Marlin 25N.
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to show us!
I too was surprised. Interesting results. Not sure what to conclude other than the tiny revolver is easier to conceal & carry than the rifle with same/similar results with hollow point.
Yet another great video there Buff. Keep 'em rolling in 2023.
ATB and a Happy New Year from your friends across the pond.
Happy and safe New Year Buffalo and your family. Very much looking forward to see what you come up with in 2023.
Thank you for doing the series. I am impressed.
Great video as always. I have the same Henry pump I love that rifle.
Just about my favorite cartridge, especially through my Browning BL22
Tinker Talks Guns just posted a video testing .22 shorts. Pretty good video as well. He got much better penetration with his little Beretta 950BS. Thanks for doing this.👍🏻
Idk if you still look at old videos but hey thanks for the gel test
Thank you for doing this.
Thanks for the videos on the 22 short. This has been interesting to see . 👍👍
Great demonstration
Wow…totally surprised at the results . Never expected nearly identical performance from a tiny revolver and a rifle ! I’ve been using those hollow points for years. Great video. Thanks
Fascinating. Surprised us all I think.
Well done, very informative. Thanks for taking time😊
All good things must come to an end. Looking forward to your next series. Best wishes for the new year to you...
Great video! Enjoyed this series. Merry Christmas Buffalo!
I would love to see you shoot CCI stingers or Aquilia Supermax. And to the jail blocked with that little mini revolver and the rifle.
Very interesting video sequence. Thank you
Thanks for a fun and addicting series. Have a blessed New Year,
nice.......again!!! Happy New Year to you and your family, greetz from the Netherlands!!!
Well, now you have to do all those tests again with the round nose bullet from the tiny revolver! It packs a wallop!
Love that little rifle!
Thanks for all your hard work. Really enjoy your channel!
Just watched your Spanish Mauser video I love those things but I 100% support your video it was a good watch and thanks for the vids 👍
