.22lr

Can we talk .22 lr bullets, rifles, their potential to seriously fuck someone's day up.

I have a marlin model 60 and I wish I got the Ruger 10/22

Has any one been shot on accident by a .22lr?

I live in a new York suburb so I'm limited to shooting at expensive ranges

Listen you made the right choice.
I spent 200 dollars over my budget to get a tacticool takedown 10/22 instead of a Marlin.

It was a waste of money for such a tame caliber.
I'm already saving up for a new range toy cause the allure of plinking has died and now I want something that can actually protect me in less than 3 shots.

Also good luck finding any fun in your police state.

.22 has the same energy as a very powerful medieval bow. It will penitrate deep enough to kill but because it's small it won't case the person to bleed out in most cases.

But yeah, if you were ever shot by an air rifle which has 1/15 th of the power you will see how "your shit is fucked" due to pain. Armchair commandos think that everyone is hopped up on bath salts and won't crumble from the pain of having a .22 projectile lodged in his body

The hollow point cci velocitors are some serious bullets. While it won't kill a fully grown grizzly bear, a few shots into him and I'm thinking he's running away. In the unlikely event of him continuing to charge you better hope for an eye shot or head shot.

My only carry piece is a Browning Buckmark loaded with CCI Stingers, how fucked am I?

Idiot fuddlore.

.22 has the most holy of all fudd powers: the ability to bounce around inside your skull for more damage.

>.22 has the same energy as a very powerful medieval bow.
They used to have longbows well above 120 lbs and 30" draw back then, these things penetrated the best plate armor at the time or at least 4" of oak from a distance of 200-300 yards.
>It will penitrate deep enough to kill but because it's small it won't case the person to bleed out in most cases.
Correct, unless you hit a major blod vessel or other sensitive tissue.
>But yeah, if you were ever shot by an air rifle which has 1/15 th of the power you will see how "your shit is fucked" due to pain. Armchair commandos think that everyone is hopped up on bath salts and won't crumble from the pain of having a .22 projectile lodged in his body
That depends a lot on the drugs and where the target is hit, but that's not specific to .22lr.

If all I had was a 22lr and I was wanting to "seriously fuck someones day up", I would load it with CCI Velocitors and shoot center mass.

that persons comment is so retarded I dont know why you even responded to it.
