Would .22Magnum make a good self defense round coming out of a rifle?
Its power is equivalent to the 9mm, with over 1800fps for a 40 grain projectile. And while most people say that 9mm is more than good enough you get frowned upon when you mention .22 magnum.
Is it because all .22s are compared to .22lr which has half the power of the .22magnum?

Good? Yes.
Just remember, there is good, better, best.
Side note, not /k/ related: everybody knows a certain pizza place that serves you less than best ingredients.
But .22 mag or .22 hornet?
Come on, dude, why when there are so many other better rounds?

Rim fire reliability is why. Also, it's thinner than a 9mm is to a 45

Bruh it's most certainly not equivalent to 9mm, also, keep in mind that these numbers are out of a 118mm barrel.

Damn.

It would stop someone but if you're going to go to the weight and length of a rifle... why not just get a rifle in a proper caliber?
