to shoot stuff with

Because enough people buy it to justify costs of production.

Because 22lr is the gayest round in existence

Funny how that works...

For people who like 22LR but want it to shoot farther and hit harder. Some revolvers have conversion cylinders. Personally I just shoot .22LR since it's cheap but it appeals to some people, Keltec has it's high cap assault 22WMR

>why do people like things I don't
STFU

the same reason why short was created and just made longer and longer.

why not?

Its pretty good for a lightweight armor penetrating round without using any special bullet composition. Also has pretty good stopping powder for its size.
Its pretty much the ideal round, even better than 9mm with a larger magazine capacity. The only reason its centerfire brother the 5.7 isnt more popular is because normies are too retarded to get a real job so that they can afford it.

We know you're gay. You don't have to just come out screaming that you are.

.22 mag is the most based round

Because 21 magnum is just silly

The real question is, why dosn't .11 magnum exist?

Does the .22 Magnum penetrate more than the 5.7?

No.

Because coyotes, foxes, possums, and raccoons.

Because it's fun

Mini revolvers are better in magnum than lr

Is .22 WMR really stout enough for yotes?

yes

through a pistol, it is enough to kill them hours or days later. but a 22mag through a rifle is nothing to joke about. It will take a coyote no problem, and without ruining the pelt
