the truth of the matter it .22 lr is deadly as hell but they aren't going to stop shit. the bullets fragment and travel into very hard to retrieve places. even if they don't frag they don't make straight wound channels which makes it hard for a surgeon to remove. regardless if you have to defend yourself with a .22 you better be a good shot or a good runner.
Those three kids in that ohio high school were just killed by a .22 .... .22 caliber weapons take the lives of people every single day. I personally have a .22 tactical rifle with a 25 round clip and I wouldn't want to be on the other end of it
Thank you for sharing this story. It was depressing but I'm so glad he lived. Hope that other bastard gets what is coming to him for hurting an innocent person not involved with his drug addiction
A security guard at the hospital my father worked at, before retiring, knew my dad was into guns and I guess looked up to him because he would always try to impress him with gun knowledge/stories. Anyways, the security guard ways convinced that at ten yards a .22lr would "bounce off his chest" I don't know why there is a phenomena of general disrespect towards this round. Don't get it twisted, a .22lr is an extremely deadly caliber against the soft human tissue.
Interesting to note that at around 8:20 there is an image of what appears to be a shed jacket.Since I don't know of ANY .22lr that has anything but a projectile comprised of lead with no jacket just wondering why that image was used?(no offence intended)
@SinghofKings they are not "jacketed" just copper plated. it is a big difference. scratch one and if you see lead it is just plated. they are plated to reduce barrel fouling. the only true jacketed .22's were used in a special assassination gun used by OSS, CIA, and SF.

This is a link you should check out. You'll have to reassemble the URL be removing spaces and following instructions. Youtube doesn't let post link in comments. I know I said .22lr so in that case I was wrong. I thought some of the loads I use were actually jacketed. But I knew that I had seen and shot jacketed rounds for the .22 Then I remembered that a friend of mine had a .22 Win Mag.
another to make a long story short . "70 year old lady vs 250 lb bad guy. 70 yr old shoots him center chest with a .22 short snubby. She said that the Bad guy dropped like a swatted fly".
you compare a .22lr to an air rifle? Try the Aguila Super Maximu round then tell me its a step up from a pellet gun. The .22 lr has Killed more people than any other vcaliber out there. Well besides the .38spl. Check your facts.
It is good that you can realize that you gave out information that you later found to be not 100% and you made the efforts to correct it with a real life story. Any gun can kill and all guns should be thought of as deadly weapons.
One thing to think about is the 5.56 that our military uses is actually a .22 caliber bullet. Crazy and hard to believe I know, but go to your local sportsman store and look at the .223 rounds which are the civilian version of the 5.56.
With a .22, you have to aim to kill in order to take the target down. With higher calibers, the stopping power increases, so you don't necessarily have to aim to kill.
I love how you ended the video with star wars. hahhaha. But in all seriousness, as another commenter said, when it comes to bullet placement, caliber doesnt matter.
Until about 30 years ago, if not later, the vast majority of polar bears 'harvested' by the Inuit in the North West Territories (Canada) were shot with... you guessed it! 22LR
Personally I don't think I would care to shoot any bear with a 22 BUT it only goes to prove that with proper shot placement can make a small weapon VERY lethal.
.22s can cause extensive terminal damage through irratic trajectory, internal ricocheting, and fragmentation. However, because of their lack of kinetic energy and unpredictable nature, I wouldn't trust one as a primary weapon: they can just as easily break apart on a bone or swerve around the body cavity or skull, as create a mortal wound. The wound may also result in a fatality in several minutes, but that isn't always going to save you during the instant.
@deke441 #1 reason to end the illegal prohibitions, crime associated with intoxicants. Read your ninth amendment with the intoxicant keyword found in another famous amendment as the other right.
In 1980s $s, the cost of cut up cocaine cost $120 per tainted gram, while it only cost $0.02 for a pure gram of pharmaceutical grade cocaine. The word "drug" a human can consume is alcohol, the only legal intoxicant.
@MrJoesouthside I have seen a few comments like this. I personally don't feel that a gun kills. People kill. A gun is just a tool, but I also recognize that your point is that all guns are deadly in the hands of a person. Good post.
I personally knew a man who was killed with a single round from a .22lr. It hit his collar bone, bounced up and hit his artery in his neck. He was only ONE MILE from the ER and bled out before they got him there. The mans last name was McElhannon and this happened in the early 80s in Winder Ga. look it up if you dont believe.
I have on my person at ALL times one of two weapons, a Glock md# 21 or a North American Arms .22 Mag/Lr combo. Why 2 different ends of the spectrum you ask. Well the simple answer is they are both man stoppers, one from sheer trama, and the other from sheer organ devistation due to the fact it travels at a high velocity and bounces off bones throughout the body tearing up organs in its path.
For anybody who wants to know my basic no frills position after seeing any of my posts, it is that all guns are dangerous. weak is a relative term, descriptive to a comparrison between 2 or more subjects. Yes, the 22 is weak compared to most, but it is still dangerous and can kill. Now, Freaky things happen in life. A simple cut out in the wilderness can kill you if you are not careful. Infection is just as deadly as any bullet. Stuff Happens.
I have some direct personal experience with the .22LR in self-defense as well as a couple shooting accidents involving one friend's brother injuring himself and another friend killed by a friend of his. The .22 caliber in average weight (30 to 55 grain) is ideal for self-destructing in medium profile targets. The 55gr 5.56 NATO cartridge was designed around it. But my personal experience is that low recoil and ease of shot placement under stress are what make the .22LR as deadly as it is.
Where I live, I do not expect anyone at my door without prior notice. It's always answered, first by looking, then left hand on door knob and right hand on 38 in my pocket. .22s are very destructive, but not a "man stopper, however it's better than a pointy stick!
@Joe55darter I personally keep a 10mm next to my bedside. But I did allot of fine tuning to get it shooting as smooth and easy as it does. But I have also seen first hand what .22s are capable of and am highly confident in a .22LR's ability to stop a man. On top of that, a thorough study on stopping power was done and concluded that stopping power differs greatly between pistol and rifle rounds, but not a whole lot between pistol rounds in which the .22LR was categorized.
@YWKMNITLWILMVAT I guess what I was trying to say was if you have choice of a higher powered gun, go with it, with a 22 as backup. To quote Massad Ayoob, "I rather have a hit with a 22 than a miss with a 45". Ask any of our troops coming back from the sandbox about the .223 and it's lack of stopping power with a drugged up crazy attacker. All this said I carry a 22 as a backup and when concealment is difficult, I go with a 22 with hollow points or fragmenting rounds.
People underestimate the caliber for the size but im asking to all the people talking bullshit about the .22, open your shirt and stop a few bullets and you will eat your own words if you still alive for talk.
It is a firegun and any firegun deserve respect.
In a rifle one bullet travel 1500 meters, distance dont even a 9mm carbine can reach.
I carry a NAA Black Widow magnum with two rounds of 22 mag shot shell and three 22 mag hollow points.I am very confident when I carry this gun that it will stop someone from trying to cause harm to myself or my family.I hope that i will never have to use it in self defense but if the threat ocuurs I will not hesitate to use it to protect myself or my family.I just found out that a 22 critical defense round is now available for sale.
.22 is used by spies, assassins and the mafia even to this day as an effective means of killing.Most gunfights or shootings(handguns, anyway)take place CLOSER than 15 feet so shot placement should not be an issue with a capable shooter.The .high velocity 22lr hollowpoint and newer shotshell ammo is LETHAL.People just want to see bigger holes in the target/bad guy.
A lot of folks underestimate the power of a 22lr round. Particularly if it's a hollowpoint, it's deadly. Thanks for being big enough to admit you had a misconception. You've got my respect, as a guy that serve two tours of duty in Vietnam. The M16 5.56 round is a 22 on steroids. Of course, no comparrison to a civilian 22 round. It's the powder behind the round that makes it dangerous. Personally, I like the 22 mag hollow point. It's small, does lots of damage and with my PMR 30.
the 22 has probably killed more people than the 9mm or 45...... I knew a guy that was shot with one and in his words "once it struck... it took off like a pissed off hornet." the shot hit him in his back and proceeded upwards and lodged against his collar bone. The 22 is an absolutely lethal round... think of it this way, people have taken feral pigs down with .177 cal air rifles, imagine how much more power a 22 can deliver against a simple air rifle.
@danxse BATF and the Justice departments did studies on a lot of this type of info during the 1990's into the early part of 2000's. They found the most common used criminal firearm was the S&W 38. 22's were very high in seized firearms, but in homicide cases it was found that medium calibers were used about 65% of the time, with small(22) and large (40's up) splitting the last 35% about evenly.
Its allways better on the dealing side than on the receiving, even its a .22. I shot once a pellet in someones face by accident and i can tell you, that dude was happy.
A man who recognize hes mistakes is worthy of all respect. Have you seen Swamp People? All of them use .22 caliber to shot right to the head and kill alligators.
Damn, you should be a politician, or a preacher. Because you sure know how to take forever to say nothing. I can't take it anymore. lol omg I got to go. PMPL (piss my pants laughing)
Ah come on. Anyone that has been shooting all their life knows a 22 is dangerous. An idiot would know that. 100 ft lbs of energy or so. Stinger 22 are 180 or so. An air rifle is what, 30 for a very powerful 22 version?
lesson of the story, ALWAYS keep a firearm by the door when you answer the door you never know who or what is going to be on the other side of the door. When I answer my door, I always have, guess what, my Walther P22 locked and loaded in my back pocket for just such an occasion. People think its stupid but dammit it could save your fuckin life, Imagine if you had your children in the house or your wife.. for the love of God people... buy a firearm, its your God given right to defend yourselves.
@mountainprepper .22 is the most common caliber I have seen in most homicides I have worked. very lethal followed by 9mm and .40.....22 round fragments and tumbles vertically until stopping.
@mskiUSMC I have 2 .22's. One is an old Winchester 190 that belonged to my dad that I have kept, shoot occasionaly and gets a lot of attention from my friends. I also have an HK 416 tactical .22. Absolutely a great gun to have! Why? because it gives me great trigger time for my .308 AR. Trigger time is trigger time and if you can put hundreds of rounds through a similar platform its great practice!
@BourneAccident Thats what I tell my wife when we go out and I take my concealed carry pistol, "why do you always carry a gun on you????? (in a very naggy voice) for my response,... look at comment just above this.
@mskiUSMC 5 miles from my house, at 11pm, 2 burglars knocked on a person's door, and shot him at least 2 times when he answered the door, then beat him with their pistol. the other guy ran to the back bedroom and shot the mans wife 2-5 times, and then she returned fire and shot him 2 times in the side. the 2 buglars ran off, they were later arrested. in jail for murder. its not paranoia if there is a chance it could happen to you. be prepared, not scared. dont open door, talk through door.
What type of bullet was used hollow or solid point? Most people generally lump all bullets into the same category? Why would you be surprised because a 22 is effective, butcher shops and deer poachers use 22 solids to kill large animals by punching through the skull to hit the brain. For quick kills on small game I have always used hollow points with great success, do not try to punch through heavy bone as a hollow point won't work. The main point is use right the bullet and bullet placement.
@BPKesq -- ok smartarse. Perhaps you would like to point out what you perceive the mistakes are and write it with the corrections: or keep your mouth closed.
If the bullet stayed together, it wouldn't be so deadly. The .22 fragments more than any other bullet. What happens is the bullet breaks up in to a bunch of razor blades that slice up your insides pretty bad. Any weapons expert will tell you they'd rather be shot with a 9mm than a .22.
@mediumpimpn I'd like to hear some names of these Experts you are referencing. I have a feeling they are more along the lines of armchair experts, but even so I would still like to hear how they would feel about a 22/45 comparrison.
@mediumpimpn As in unidentified ficticious experts. Figured as much. The fact that you also must resort to an ad hominem attack when being called to defend your statement does a whole heck of a lot for your credibility too. It's a fairly typical defense psychologically speaking, used quite frequently when someone is trying to cover up having nothing to defend in the first place.
@TheFoundersWereRight You seriously think people should cite youtube comments? Then you try to prove you've received some sort of education by trying to make your response sound like an argument? The last expert I heard make the "I'd rather get shot with anything other than a .22" was Kyle Myers. Keep trolling youtube trying to convince yourself that you're smart. Douche.
@mediumpimpn Again, we see an ad-hominem with no rebuttle to my original question. I was not trolling, but that doesn't matter. Neither does the fact that I never told you any quote like Your "kyle meyers"(by the way, do you know how many of those live in America?) In fact, I'll make you a deal. I'm willing to argue my points in detail. Feel free to refuse. You can call me more names if you like, and prove which one of us is uneducated beyond further doubt. The choice is yours.
@TheFoundersWereRight You asked for a name which you received. Now your want to discredit my reference because of an imaginary statistic you made up (unless you'd like to cite the actual number of Kyle Meyers' in America...from an academic source). I chose him for two reasons; 1) He is an expert and actually said it. and 2) It is a test of your alleged intelligence. I don't want to hear your incoherent opinion-based argument. My rebuttal? LMAO @ you, not with you. Dummy.
@mediumpimpn Oh, I'm sorry. You meant Kyle Meyers, the designer from California. Yes, he is an expert at what he does, but not firearms. Or did you mean the Former All American from Ohio Northern? No, wait, you meant Kyle Meyer the Chief Executive Officer, American Finance & Inv Co. Get the picture? All three real people, sharing the same name.
@mediumpimpn Now, Before you try and accuse me of making up something to discredit you, Can you without a shadow of doubt promise everyone in the world and on youtube that there is only one man in America named Kyle Meyers?
Get back on topic, stop with the slight-of-hand show. Before you attempt to intimidate somebody be sure of who you are dealing with. If your source is a good one, Please send me a link to the info. I'd be happy to read it, and admit it on here for all to see.
@TheFoundersWereRight You're seriously going to say I'm accusing you of making something up after starting this pathetic argument by accusing me of making something up? Get a life loser, I'm done arguing with a hypocritical moron. FYI, Kyle Meyers was a test and you are failing. He's right here on youtube, but I doubt your stupid ass can ever find him.
@mediumpimpn Ok, I did not accuse you of anything. I simply questioned what you based your comment on. You were offended that anyone might question your vast superiority. Now, it has been a long while since I listened to this video, and I do not rely on Youtube for my information. After all, it has you. Also, The "if I can't win or make a person go away, I'll say it's over." is another very Common defense mechanism.
@mediumpimpn I had Offered to explain my reasoning behind my argument. My first post to you was made out of genuine interest to see if you really relied on expert data. All further attempts to bring forth information from you have met only with kindergarden level name calling on your part. When I question you on this, you go on the attack, ignore the question, and call me a name. Wow, I am so hurt. And you call me a Hypocrite. Look in the mirror buddy.
@TheFoundersWereRight "I had Offered to explain my reasoning behind my argument". I do not want to hear your stupid incoherent argument for the 2nd time you stupid fuck...
@mediumpimpn That is because you can't argue against it, except through intimidation attempts, foul language, and embarressing Behavior. Any argument which might follow some form of logic or reasoning is a danger to yours, as all you have behind yours are smoke and mirrors. Look, I offered you a choice between a shovel and a ladder. You took the shovel and kept digging. I feel sorry for you.
@TheFoundersWereRight Unless you are a ballistics expert, then there is nothing to argue against. Your "theory" is literally Frankfurt's definition of bullshit. The language I use towards you is from my lack of respect for you. Your assumptions of why I used such language proves nothing other than you are a person who assumes. Fuck your ladder and shovel. Give me your face, I'd like to take a shit...
@mediumpimpn Wow! Here we have it folks. Proof that he could dig the hole even deeper! While I won't call myself an expert, nor many people who make their living at it with some of the ideas they try to push as fact, I am pretty sure I have enough experience to qualify me as close to that mark, more so than you. Also, I could care less about your ammount of "respect" for me, as I know the majority of people reading through here will have less respect for you because of your actions.
@mediumpimpn I should also point out along with that last remark, that I have some Proffessional Experience, culminated in a request for the research, compilation, and recomendation of a duty Cartridge by a Federal Level Law Enforcement agency, CBP. This was a few years ago at which point they retired their Glock Pistols and at the time where seeking possibilities from two other manufacturers.
True story: I was the officer responding to a call of attempted suicide where a kid shot himself in the head with a 22 because his parents wouldn't let him use the car. The kid was still breathing as the ambulance hauled him and his mother to the hospital. He remained alive as the doctors suctioned blood and bits of brain from the wound. Eventually, enough blood and brain were suctioned away to cause death. His mother kept asking me if her son would be OK since it was 'only' a 22.
Hate to admit it but i have a friend who was on the opposit side of this story he was hooked on meth decided to rob his dealer with a .22 the guy wouldnt hand the dope over so he shot him one time in the chest. my friend said man it was only a .22 i didnt think it would hurt him that bad i just wanted to scare him.bottom line his dealers dead and my friend is now serving life in prison at oak park heights supermax 23 hour lockdown for the rest of his life because he thought the .22 was harmless
@MickScarborough Correct. He is one of a few trolls who always try to claim "22's kill more people _____." You can fill in the blank. .22 is a Caliber, but they never define the cartridge. To do so would be to open the claim to inspection and research. I contemplated telling him that more people also survive 22 wounds than any other bullet, but did not want to feed him.
Thanks for sharing that story mate. It's strange to see how many Americans consider the .22 round something made "just for plinging or fun" while it's considered as serious firepower here in Europe. I used to know a kid, just 12 years old (may God rest his soul), that died from getting shot with a .177 air rifle pellet! Basically, any weapon that shoots projectiles can kill a person... always keep that in mind folks, always! Be smart, be safe.
Very good story and Im very glad that kid made it! Damn lucky. Yes the .22 is nothing to scoff at. Hell the Israeli military uses them for sniping. Very accurate , deadly and not really much noise to them. Anyway good vid and take care.
@amptoys See my post to 81deadgame. Yes, the 22lr will break a bone, but so will a HP rifle round. Yes, a 22 bullet can tumble if it strikes a bone at the correct angle, but so can a full size rifle round. Will a 22 "Wind" or bounce around inside a human body and magically stay inside. No it will not.
I understand what you are saying, under these circumstances, they were optimal to do the most damage, but for protecting myself, my home or whatever, picture this. I'M the one with the .22 and I have to shoot this piece of stain on the other side of the door. After I shoot him, I do NOT want anyone still coming straight at me, or having the time to pull a weapon, or decide to dodge into a room to hide, or whatever. If I pull that trigger, it's gonna be a .45 auto, an yur goin down there.
just a little word from a northern neighbour, the RCMP up here is trained to assume every house has a .22 rifle in it, they also train them to respect if; not fear them. Due to the small tips on the leads, they're able to pass through the vests the officers use up. to drive the point home, they put a vest on a ballistic gell block and have a guy fire 5 rounds into the vest. a good friend i used to sail with said they he lent is SIG revolver to them, and all five rounds passed right through.
A .22 isn't a man stopper unless placed in the head or a vital, but when fired multi-times in one given area, it's like being hit with buckshot and very lethal. Some use it for self defense, but the main issue is a rim fire cartridge isn't as reliable as a center fire. For sure, a .22 is not a toy and can be a serious lethal weapon.
@81deadgame Sorry, that is a myth that is false. A bullet does not bounce around inside a body. It may hit bone and change course to a side depending upon the angle of the strike, but no bullet will penetrate flesh and magically change course inside your body . It either comes to a stop, or exits.
Think about it. Some one breaks into your home are they going to ask what caliber rifle you have as you set the sights on them? Or are they going to see a bazooka pointed at them (that's the size they see isn't it)? White hot lead is going to be effective no matter the caliber.
A .22 is a great round for hunting small game but for self defense, you want something to stop any aggression, immediately. If that is all you have, learn to triple-tap. Don't rely on just one bullet doing the job.
they have used .22s in military before. shot placement is the biggest thing. you could take down ANYTHING with a .22 more gun shot fatalities and mishaps are with .22s a fire arm is a firearm regardless of size. and so are air rifles and even bb guns. if it shoots something it should always be treated with respect. if it has gun in the title treat it like a gun. regardless.
A big suppressor pushes the advantage of the .22LR, it can be great for confronting ne'er-do-wells who are skulking around in the wilderness after dark around your encampment, in the brush in the dark your muzzle-flash of even a pistol can blind you and give away your position, not with a silenced .22LR, that would be so quiet they won't know where they are being hit from.
ya my friend was killed by his nabor who stole a 22 the nabor was target shooting inhis back yard my friend was in his front yard putting talking on the phone he got his chest he died be for any buddy got there .ya 22 will kill you
I know a man that took a pot-shot at a deer with a .22 stinger thinking it would do little to the deer.
The damn thing dropped dead on the spot.
I'v also heard that the .22 mag is the prefferd round for deer hunting in Arkansas due to it's affordability and knock down power.
As for me, I keep a .22 S&W loaded with stingers as my choice for home defence. Shoot a coffee can full of water with a lid and you will see my point.
@nov284 hey i saw your comment, i think that more people have been murderd by the .22 in the usa then any other cliber, think of all the people killled in ww1 ww2 korea vietnam, look at ths death tallies, so its impossible, not hating on you id like to hear your responnse actually?
@Rje437 I googled untill I was cross-eyed and couldn't come up with the source. I read it once, years ago, and as I recall the article didn't name .22s-l-lr specifically, just the .22 familly. I can't remember all of the details of the article (so I may in fact just have to eat some crow here :-), but the author factored in ongoing homicides, assassinations, and named some small weapons from the ww-era that he figured in. It was a very persuasive article, but I can't find it now.
@nov284 actually.. more people have been killed by the 7.62.. since they were used by the germans in ww2 and ww1 and then were used in the ak 47's and all of its millions of rip offs...
@nov284 But not the 22LR. That is one point that never seems to get made by comments like this. 22 caliber cartridges have only been in use in warfarein the last half of the 20th century. The only known use of the 22LR itself by me was during WW2 in specially silenced pistols. .22 ould mean .223, 5.56x39, 5.7x28. Your statement is broad, and meant to mislead. Sorry
@nov284 Yeah, bullshit. You hear that all the time, but I'd like to know just where these people are being shot. Without a doubt .30 caliber bullets have killed more, having been used by most military forces for the past 120 years. If you chose one caliber I'd put my money on 7.62x39mm based on post WW2 conflicts in African and Asia.
@nov284 This is a fable and just not true. In my 20 years in the business I have never seen even one person shot with a 22 much less killed. Read again... two decades in the business.
@Fire23eater White supremacist???? Far from it my friend. Where exactly did you get that impression? I have no idea how you could gather that i am either a white supremacist, a member, or supporter of any militia, or a fucktard from this video.
lol its obvious he is a retard delete his dumb ass comment and continue on man.
btw i agree .22 lr is an awesome caliber if you have a reliable platform especially in a shtf scenario you could literally pack 2k rounds of super high velocity .22lr hollow points. that seems like a winner to me.
@ladyfeind Well I want to keep my channel as open as possible so I have never deleted a comment unless it was vulgar or racist. He's free to say what he wishes. I just don't see what gave him those impressions. Thanks for having my back though. lol.
@mountainprepper Friggin trolls. All I see on his page are comments on other videos with views opposing each other. Oh, and he liked a few gun videos, looks like.
the truth of the matter it .22 lr is deadly as hell but they aren't going to stop shit. the bullets fragment and travel into very hard to retrieve places. even if they don't frag they don't make straight wound channels which makes it hard for a surgeon to remove. regardless if you have to defend yourself with a .22 you better be a good shot or a good runner.

Anyways, the security guard ways convinced that at ten yards a .22lr would "bounce off his chest" I don't know why there is a phenomena of general disrespect towards this round. Don't get it twisted, a .22lr is an extremely deadly caliber against the soft human tissue.

@SinghofKings they are not "jacketed" just copper plated. it is a big difference. scratch one and if you see lead it is just plated. they are plated to reduce barrel fouling. the only true jacketed .22's were used in a special assassination gun used by OSS, CIA, and SF.

No, you were right the first time.
.22's have murdered more people than any other caliber.
If for no other reason, than because they're so common.
The even weaker .25 Auto, has also racked up an impressive body count. Mostly for the same reasons.

Remember the Military M-16 is a .22 cal bullet, Yes it is a .223 or 5.56 mm which has more powder backing it, but it is still a .22 round.
The .22 is used because it will go in and bounce around inside you ripping up everything.

One thing to think about is the 5.56 that our military uses is actually a .22 caliber bullet. Crazy and hard to believe I know, but go to your local sportsman store and look at the .223 rounds which are the civilian version of the 5.56.

With a .22, you have to aim to kill in order to take the target down. With higher calibers, the stopping power increases, so you don't necessarily have to aim to kill.

Until about 30 years ago, if not later, the vast majority of polar bears 'harvested' by the Inuit in the North West Territories (Canada) were shot with... you guessed it! 22LR
Personally I don't think I would care to shoot any bear with a 22 BUT it only goes to prove that with proper shot placement can make a small weapon VERY lethal.

.22s can cause extensive terminal damage through irratic trajectory, internal ricocheting, and fragmentation. However, because of their lack of kinetic energy and unpredictable nature, I wouldn't trust one as a primary weapon: they can just as easily break apart on a bone or swerve around the body cavity or skull, as create a mortal wound. The wound may also result in a fatality in several minutes, but that isn't always going to save you during the instant.

I have on my person at ALL times one of two weapons, a Glock md# 21 or a North American Arms .22 Mag/Lr combo. Why 2 different ends of the spectrum you ask. Well the simple answer is they are both man stoppers, one from sheer trama, and the other from sheer organ devistation due to the fact it travels at a high velocity and bounces off bones throughout the body tearing up organs in its path.

For anybody who wants to know my basic no frills position after seeing any of my posts, it is that all guns are dangerous. weak is a relative term, descriptive to a comparrison between 2 or more subjects. Yes, the 22 is weak compared to most, but it is still dangerous and can kill. Now, Freaky things happen in life. A simple cut out in the wilderness can kill you if you are not careful. Infection is just as deadly as any bullet. Stuff Happens.
TheFoundersWereRight 2 weeks ago
I have some direct personal experience with the .22LR in self-defense as well as a couple shooting accidents involving one friend's brother injuring himself and another friend killed by a friend of his. The .22 caliber in average weight (30 to 55 grain) is ideal for self-destructing in medium profile targets. The 55gr 5.56 NATO cartridge was designed around it. But my personal experience is that low recoil and ease of shot placement under stress are what make the .22LR as deadly as it is.

Where I live, I do not expect anyone at my door without prior notice. It's always answered, first by looking, then left hand on door knob and right hand on 38 in my pocket. .22s are very destructive, but not a "man stopper, however it's better than a pointy stick!

@Joe55darter I personally keep a 10mm next to my bedside. But I did allot of fine tuning to get it shooting as smooth and easy as it does. But I have also seen first hand what .22s are capable of and am highly confident in a .22LR's ability to stop a man. On top of that, a thorough study on stopping power was done and concluded that stopping power differs greatly between pistol and rifle rounds, but not a whole lot between pistol rounds in which the .22LR was categorized.
YWKMNITLWILMVAT 2 weeks ago
@YWKMNITLWILMVAT I guess what I was trying to say was if you have choice of a higher powered gun, go with it, with a 22 as backup. To quote Massad Ayoob, "I rather have a hit with a 22 than a miss with a 45". Ask any of our troops coming back from the sandbox about the .223 and it's lack of stopping power with a drugged up crazy attacker. All this said I carry a 22 as a backup and when concealment is difficult, I go with a 22 with hollow points or fragmenting rounds.

.22 is used by spies, assassins and the mafia even to this day as an effective means of killing.Most gunfights or shootings(handguns, anyway)take place CLOSER than 15 feet so shot placement should not be an issue with a capable shooter.The .high velocity 22lr hollowpoint and newer shotshell ammo is LETHAL.People just want to see bigger holes in the target/bad guy.

A lot of folks underestimate the power of a 22lr round. Particularly if it's a hollowpoint, it's deadly. Thanks for being big enough to admit you had a misconception. You've got my respect, as a guy that serve two tours of duty in Vietnam. The M16 5.56 round is a 22 on steroids. Of course, no comparrison to a civilian 22 round. It's the powder behind the round that makes it dangerous. Personally, I like the 22 mag hollow point. It's small, does lots of damage and with my PMR 30.
dialysisjoe 2 weeks ago
the 22 has probably killed more people than the 9mm or 45...... I knew a guy that was shot with one and in his words "once it struck... it took off like a pissed off hornet." the shot hit him in his back and proceeded upwards and lodged against his collar bone. The 22 is an absolutely lethal round... think of it this way, people have taken feral pigs down with .177 cal air rifles, imagine how much more power a 22 can deliver against a simple air rifle.

@danxse BATF and the Justice departments did studies on a lot of this type of info during the 1990's into the early part of 2000's. They found the most common used criminal firearm was the S&W 38. 22's were very high in seized firearms, but in homicide cases it was found that medium calibers were used about 65% of the time, with small(22) and large (40's up) splitting the last 35% about evenly.

What type of bullet was used hollow or solid point? Most people generally lump all bullets into the same category? Why would you be surprised because a 22 is effective, butcher shops and deer poachers use 22 solids to kill large animals by punching through the skull to hit the brain. For quick kills on small game I have always used hollow points with great success, do not try to punch through heavy bone as a hollow point won't work. The main point is use right the bullet and bullet placement.

If the bullet stayed together, it wouldn't be so deadly. The .22 fragments more than any other bullet. What happens is the bullet breaks up in to a bunch of razor blades that slice up your insides pretty bad. Any weapons expert will tell you they'd rather be shot with a 9mm than a .22.

A .22 isn't a man stopper unless placed in the head or a vital, but when fired multi-times in one given area, it's like being hit with buckshot and very lethal. Some use it for self defense, but the main issue is a rim fire cartridge isn't as reliable as a center fire. For sure, a .22 is not a toy and can be a serious lethal weapon.

A .22 is a great round for hunting small game but for self defense, you want something to stop any aggression, immediately. If that is all you have, learn to triple-tap. Don't rely on just one bullet doing the job.

they have used .22s in military before. shot placement is the biggest thing. you could take down ANYTHING with a .22 more gun shot fatalities and mishaps are with .22s a fire arm is a firearm regardless of size. and so are air rifles and even bb guns. if it shoots something it should always be treated with respect. if it has gun in the title treat it like a gun. regardless.

A big suppressor pushes the advantage of the .22LR, it can be great for confronting ne'er-do-wells who are skulking around in the wilderness after dark around your encampment, in the brush in the dark your muzzle-flash of even a pistol can blind you and give away your position, not with a silenced .22LR, that would be so quiet they won't know where they are being hit from.

I know a man that took a pot-shot at a deer with a .22 stinger thinking it would do little to the deer.
The damn thing dropped dead on the spot.
I'v also heard that the .22 mag is the prefferd round for deer hunting in Arkansas due to it's affordability and knock down power.
As for me, I keep a .22 S&W loaded with stingers as my choice for home defence. Shoot a coffee can full of water with a lid and you will see my point.

@Rje437 I googled untill I was cross-eyed and couldn't come up with the source. I read it once, years ago, and as I recall the article didn't name .22s-l-lr specifically, just the .22 familly. I can't remember all of the details of the article (so I may in fact just have to eat some crow here :-), but the author factored in ongoing homicides, assassinations, and named some small weapons from the ww-era that he figured in. It was a very persuasive article, but I can't find it now.

@nov284 actually.. more people have been killed by the 7.62.. since they were used by the germans in ww2 and ww1 and then were used in the ak 47's and all of its millions of rip offs...

@nov284 But not the 22LR. That is one point that never seems to get made by comments like this. 22 caliber cartridges have only been in use in warfarein the last half of the 20th century. The only known use of the 22LR itself by me was during WW2 in specially silenced pistols. .22 ould mean .223, 5.56x39, 5.7x28. Your statement is broad, and meant to mislead. Sorry

@nov284 Really? Maybe. I don't believe it, though, without reliable sources. I suspect more have been killed by NATO calibers or 7.62x39.
Mr13born79 1 month ago
@nov284 Yeah, bullshit. You hear that all the time, but I'd like to know just where these people are being shot. Without a doubt .30 caliber bullets have killed more, having been used by most military forces for the past 120 years. If you chose one caliber I'd put my money on 7.62x39mm based on post WW2 conflicts in African and Asia.

@nov284 7,62 mm is an ultimate killer.

@nov284 This is a fable and just not true. In my 20 years in the business I have never seen even one person shot with a 22 much less killed. Read again... two decades in the business.

For the record I have never seen a person a .22 would not kill.....

lol its obvious he is a retard delete his dumb ass comment and continue on man.
btw i agree .22 lr is an awesome caliber if you have a reliable platform especially in a shtf scenario you could literally pack 2k rounds of super high velocity .22lr hollow points. that seems like a winner to me.
