There's no point of buying a gun that's caliber is larger than .22 LR...(srs)

[evansanity]

Its a waste....I seriously don't know why you ammunition armchair aficionados feel the need to bag on rounds smaller than .45 lmao...Lets look at the facts...

- .22LR is the leading cause of gun shot deaths in the USA
- The mafia would use .22LR to kill people back in the day
- .22LR guns offer the least amount of recoil and thus the best accuracy making it easy to pass the 5x5x5x5 rule (5 shots within 5 inches of each other in 5 seconds from 5 yards away)
- .22LR handguns offer the most capacity magazines, usually 10-30 rounds in a hand gun. Way better than the 7 you get with other ammo calibers.
- There's no such thing is stopping power lmao. FBI did a study on this.
- .22LR is easy to CC
- can shoot faster
-Target and plnker competitions use .22LR (because it has best accuracy)
-Lower ammo price
-Lower gun price


Lmao at you guys thinking you need .380, 9mm, 40, 45 or 50 cal to kill someone lmao... Someone shoots a couple .22LR into someone's skull they're fukin dead lmao... Lol at people not getting nearly enough accuracy to do anything with there big boy 9mm and 45s while I have a .22lr getting great grouping and twice as many shots in half the time lmao....

right on, I took my grandpas .22lr and some ammo after he died 5 years ago and still havent shot it, im in California so im scared as fukk to transport it in my truck and being pulled over...but it does feel good knowing i have a gun in case NK invades California...

Dude, the second amendment guarantees your right to carry that weapon. i am sure that if you did get arrested by cali cops, the federal government would immediately show up and protect your civil rights. plus, all the cops here assured us that no officer would ever round up the firearms of law abiding citizens, so the cop wouldn't even arrest you for breaking non constitutional gun laws.

[blindsideflank]

Paramedic here. GSW with .22 tend to ricochet/bounce around (and tumble) in the chest, abdomen and pelvis. They are quite devastating because of this but large calibre (or more importantly high powered rifles) leave a huge area of damage beyond the hole itself (cavitation).

I'd say larger still kills faster but not sure if there is a difference in overall mortality





Would still use a 9mm though (there is a reason police do).

I voted for Trump so hopefully he would bail me out...

Why would the military not have adopted your stance as well? Since you seem convinced the .22 is a killing machine.

[martin545]

12 Gauge: birdshot, buckshot, slugs
.308: sniping
.223 AR or 7.62x39 AK: close combat
9mm Glock: carry weapon, little recoil

guns stopped being about self defense a long time ago

I'm talking self-defense and home defense. Not sure about animals anatomy but I bet 15 shots of .22LR into a bears (or any land animal) skull would kill it.

Um ....... They did. Standard military round is 5.56, which basically equates to .223, which is a 22 round.

Op, while you are technically right, it's not a stopping round. There are stories abound of 22 rounds not penetrating the skull and skidding around it. I don't carry a larger caliber because it kills better. I carry a larger caliber because it stops better. Id rather shoot a guy once or twice before he stops coming at me over 15 shots, especially in todays political climate with a jury.

With all the recoil on those big boy guns hitting a moving target with 1/7 rounds would be tough. Rather have a high capacity magazine and better accuracy and firing rate. IMO

yeah.. obviously you've never shot an animal twice, let alone 15 times

Most special operations units are using SCAR-Hs, which are 7.62.

But tell me how you really feel. I got thick skin, lets hear the facts.

[Farley1324]

lol OP thinks .22lr = 5.56x45

Not even knowledgeable enough to troll properly SMH

People that served are usually physically stronger than limp wristed civilians like myself. Shooting a 7.62 handgun for them is prolly like me shooting a .22LR handgun. Prolly why the military uses bigger guns, because they have bigger guns.

That explains why they use 9mm

[ATT82121]

Having a 22lr is the equivalent to having a small dink with large balls. You can shoot a lot, but you will always get laughed at and lack a lot of power.














That being said, I have concluded that OP has a small dink

Actually the opposite. I'm so secure with myself I only need enough firepower to get the job done. No need to get a bigger gun to impress insecure people.

Holy flying ****.
