I can't believe this meme cartridge is still alive. The only thing that's special about it is that rednecks can get drunk and shoot cans all day. Why do people recommend this to new owners? 5.56 has practically no recoil, neither does 9mm, get a real gun that you can train and fight with.

Nigga what?

in the grand scheme of boolits, 9mm has no recoil, but when comparing it to a .22, a 9mm is damn near .700 nitro.

Also, 10 years ago the ammo was cheap as chips, you think people will just throw away their guns because the ammo isn't as cheap as it once was?

probably bait but here goes

> Its cheap, like 10 cents per shot, because it literally is piece of shit ammo - you cant reload it

> which is why its unreliable

I do agree that its not ideal. Whether we're talking centrefire or rimfire we should be hurling stones of at least 6.8 or 7mm variety

Because they can be higher mass low velocity shots to take out game and deliver tack driving performance.

Or high velocity hollowpoints for self defense - and at around 7mm with a longer case they would pack as much punch and penetration as a .32 magnum.


Consider dear reader... the .22 short and the .22 long rifle were designed in the 1800s near the forefront of cartridge cased firearms development, when literally just about everything was a wildcat cartridge and there were few standards.

Somehow they kept making them, which was a mistake in my opinion. The 7.62x54mmR might be nearly as old as the .22 LR but they at least got it right the first time.

This was also a time back when people really did hunt for food alot, and .22 Short or LR was good enough as a game getter.

> useless for self defense
Plus nobody wanted to be shot and get an infection back then, so anything that would pierce the skin (like a .41 derringer) was a good enough threat.

And modern examples do show with the right bullet it will kill you easily or fuck up your life significantly.

But it is far from ideal.

In terms of effectiveness though ironically it is a little bit more capable than a .32acp.

Show me an air rifle that can throw a 40gr. Slug at 1040 fps with as little noise as my suppressed .22 and I'll sick your dick

>>31433789

round here the squirrels wear chainmail and you need a 22 to penetrate it
>>
>>31433740
I have a CZ 452 Ultra Lux with a 28" barrel that sounds like an air rifle with sub sonic ammo.
>>
>>31433771

Those sniper sub sonic agquilas get my dick hard for some reason.

60 grains of lead pill, getting 11 inches of penetration, total retention.

These are like .45acp numbers just a smaller hole.

Also makes you clean your gun more often, which can be fun in its own right.

That cant be right. Any suppressor made for a .17 or .22 Cal air rifle I could just attach to my .17 HMR or .22lr. I'm sure the ATF has thought of that.

>>
>>31433724

>>
>>31433974

I know where you're going with this but 22lr is not typically considered re-loadable. I mean you can with primer putty but it's a pain in the ass.
>>
>>31433952
The caveat is that they must be factory suppressed. There are plenty of options, though.

>>31433897
You realize this is slower and lighter than a decent pellet fired from good air rifle, right?

>>31433961
24 grain pellets can be had at 1.3 to 1.5c/pellet. It's better, yeah. Why don't you buy .300 Blackout? It's better too.
>>
>>31433990

>You realize this is slower and lighter than a decent pellet fired from good air rifle, right?

Good 22 air rifle hunting pellets are typically 15gr.

>24 grain pellets can be had at 1.3 to 1.5c/pellet. It's better, yeah. Why don't you buy .300 Blackout? It's better too.

Because the gap between 1.5c and 8c is pretty massive vs 8c vs 90-150c / rd. Plus the 22 is both more effective and won't destroy the game.
>>
>>31433990

Also no one who takes air rifle shooting seriously is shooting faster than 900fps.
>>
>>31433305
>not used by any military
It is used by the military, Israel uses the Sr 22 for their "less than lethal" option.

>useless for self defense
Ppl have killed moose, bear, grown ass men with the 22...sure it's not the best, you can still easily kill some one. Specially seeing at like 400 yards, the 22 still has enough power to easily go through half an inch of solid oak board (nothing impressive, that range and for such a small round it is) plus thousands of ppl already carry a 22 for CC.

>unreliable
What? Prob put thousands of 22 rounds down range, I never had a single problem. Never really heard of any problem with the 22 round, except for that stopping powah issue.

>not even cheap
For the most part yeah, plenty of places to find cheap 22. My area it is plentiful, for a box of 500 cheap shit, you'll spend 20 bucks out the door.

You're pretty retarded op, clearly don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Why don't you actually go google shit, instead of making a stupid thread.

>typically 15gr.
Sure thing buddy, whatever you say. In a decent power rifle that'll go supersonic.

I never, ever had a problem with something not dropping dead when I shot it. For small game, an air rifle and a .22 LR are pretty much the same thing, only cheaper.

>>31434046
Maybe you should stop using 15g pellets.

>>31434068

So you're shooting a heavy pellet out of a fast air gun and telling me it's suppressed subsonic 22 quiet?

You're probably still supersonic.

>no one who takes air rifle shooting seriously is shooting faster than 900fps.

>>31434162

>>
>>31434175
Nope. You might be thinking of spring noise from springer rifles, by the way. Gas piston rifles are much more silent.

>>31434187
I don't have a chronograph, but lighter pellets are definitively supersonic.

My rifle is rated for 1200fps with the cherrypicked 9-10 grain lightweight alloy pellets.

Pellets in the 20-30 grain range are subsonic and pretty accurate.

you got a floofy straw man thing going.

extremely cheap (compared to literally everything else), so it's great for plinking for hours without too big of a hole in your wallet. also good for small game (but apparently only fudds hunt so that doesn't matter at all). also guns in .22lr are usually pretty cheap. also cheaper boolet = more shooting = more experience = new shooter becomes better shooter. basically no recoil allows them to work on the basics, and subconciously adapt to recoil.

Now that it's expensive it's pointless. When it was $1 for 50 rounds it was cool, now you might as well buy a bb/airshit gun.

It's not a good survival weapon. Anything you can hunt with a .22 you can catch in a snare. You can carry a shit ton of snares for the weight/space of a .22 gun and it's ammo take up in your kit, and you'd catch way more food with that amount.

I am not a ninja, merely a student of the art of Ninjitsu, and I prefer not to have status such as “Ninja” laid upon me, for as yet I am unworthy of the title. I will be completing my ninjisu training in a little over 8 months, and then I will be a Master of Ninjitsu, a true “Ninja”. But it is not my martial arts skills that make me so vital to the security of the mall, it is my tactical and strategic skills honed by years of intens on-site on the job training. My weapons skills are the envy of the squad.

It does. My club did some chrono testing using several lengths of CZ 452. The shortest was a 16" Scout, the longest an 28" Ultra Lux with a 20" FS and 24" Trainer in the mix as well. Velocity increased up to about 22", then began to fall again at 24' with the 28" barrel drooping about 200 fps compared to the 22" barreled CZ452 American.

>most Western militaries have used it historically in suppressed weapons. US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Israel still use it in suppressed weapons for special operations.
>more people have been killed with .22lr than all other calibers combined (including both x39's and x54r), most popular murder and SD caliber in history
Ok it is unreliable.
>5-7cpr all day erryday online, as cheap as 3.5cpr occasionally on sale, more than 2x as cheap as next cheapest round (tulammo 9x19 @ 14.6cpr as of 10 seconds ago), more than 3x as cheap as next cheapest rifle caliber (5.45x39 @ 26cpr)

When a full day of shooting costs less than the McDonald's you got on the drive home it's cheap. It's proven itself quite lethal on basically every North American animal on 2 legs or more since 1887 (including a polar bear with 1 shot DRT) and the world record grizzly shot by Bella Twin). It's used by basically every respected military in the world. It's accurate and lethal to 200 yards on man-sized targets.

What's not to love?

It was around 4-5cpr 10 years ago.

25 years ago it was less than a penny a round. I could buy 50-packs of Federal Hi Velocity for $0.47 after tax at the local gas station or full bricks of Winchester Super-X for $7.99+tax at Ace Hardware.

>air rifle is better for small game
Except for the <40yd max range on all springers, the <20gr pellets getting BTFO by wind, utter lack of follow-up shots unless you got a thousand-dollar repeating PCP, and the fact that they're actually louder than a suppressed .22 by a fair margin.
>ammo is a lot cheaper
Not by a significant margin unless you're shooting Daisy run-of-the-mill .177's (which have dick-all for accurate range, dick-all for penetration, dick-all for expansion, and are inaccurate as shit by pellet standards).

Expect to pay between $10 and $12 for a 200ct tin of "good" .22cal pellets that are still less accurate, lighter, and less expanding than a 40gr .22lr bullet. Which puts them between 5 and 6 cents per, the same or more than cheap .22lr.

>and it'll kill game just fine
Squirrels, mice, cottontail rabbits, and maybe crows. Too bad I'll also shoot coyotes, jackrabbits, javelina, armadillos, and nutria with my .22lr. And people do routinely hunt fucking ALLIGATORS with .22lr.

>you realize this is slower and lighter than a decent pellet fired from a good air rifle, right?
Hunting pellets pretty much top out at 17gr for .22cal and less than 15gr for .177.

A "decent" air rifle is $250+ for a spring piston, and $700+ for a PCP. a "high end" .22lr bolt action is $200-250 and a "high end" .22lr semi is $300

Your "decent" hunting pellets are a nickel per. Same exact cost as "decent" hunting .22lr.

The .22lr will be quieter through a suppressed rifle, and the Super Colibri or SSS will be quieter through an unsuppressed rifle.

>24 grain pellets can be had at 1.3c/pellet
Fucking where? Cuz they're 6.4c/pellet at PyramydAir, and that's the single cheapest place I've found for anything airgun related that sells to the US.

On the real doe, I have not purchased or shot .22lr since like 2013. Feels bad man. I can't bring myself to spend $65.99 for a box of 500rnds of plinking. I pretty much use/buy 9mm like I used to .22lr.
It's cheaper and it's more fun in my opinion because I practice more often with my main pistol. However I stillness think.22 has its place and I probably got like 150rnds of it.

.22 is a dirt round that does the job. Dont buy shit and you wont get shit ya know?

>>31436459
Can you order ammo online over there, or did they cuck you out of that too? You can get .22LR as low as like 6 cents a round online.
>>
>>31441148
not him but 20c for 9mm and 25c for 223 is pretty good prices, even online
not sure what the fuck he's going off about
>>
>>31433305
Because it's fun to shoot and ideal to start beginners on so they're less likely to develop of flinch. And it is cheaper than about any other round I can think of.
>>
>>31441153
20c for 9mm is high AF. Brass is 15cpr online in free America, and tulammo is 14cpr shipped.

25cpr for any .223/5.56 is extremely good, and makes me think he literally pulled numbers out of his ass.

>>31441270
So divest yourself of your .22's and buy more 9mm or x39?

If you don't have a desire to shoot it, why are you in here bitching about it? Why does this even concern you?

>>31441271

only when it's a russian gun

But imagine the fun of rigging a gatling gun in .22lr. Now imagine using it in HD.

>>31441274
>So divest yourself of your .22's and buy more 9mm or x39?
Why? I like having 10,000rds of .22lr so I can make faggots like you buttflustered, and I can afford ammo I actually shoot regularly.

>Why does this even concern you?
Because I agree with OP, just like I assume you disagree with OP. This is a discussion, I own several .22lr guns and lots of .22lr. Just because my opinion might not be agreeable to yours doesn't mean my opinion is irrelevant to this conversation, you pretentious Bolshevik kike.
