.22 Ratshot

Just a little test/demo of a .22lr ratshot and a neat little round made by Aguila, it's a subsonic (roughly 1000 fps) 60 grain bullet, and I've killed many a rabbit with it. good stuff.

Yeah yeah.... I signed up for Google AdSense... Just curious if I would even make any money off of this. If I don't make a few bucks after a couple months I pull it for the good of mankind.

And yes, I say "Subject" a lot...

What kind of gun is this? Is it a .22 rifle? If so , why does it seem so quiet and small

[nasonguy]

@zachcapp It's a .22lr. The camera I was using at the time was a piece of junk, and couldn't handle high volume, so it just dampens it, that's why it seemed so quiet. In reality, both of those rounds are just a little bit quieter than a regular high velocity .22lr round.

just to let yall know that the rat shot sucks balls.

[nasonguy]

@floridafv768 Sorry, but you're wrong.

It's perfect for it's intended purpose, killing rats/snakes.

I've used .22wmr ratshot to kill more than a couple snakes...

@jimbobey9999 The story goes something like this:

My in laws have a lemon tree, and one day, we (my wife and I) got quite a bountiful harvest of lemons, we had made lemonade, and lemon meringue, and we still had lemons left over.

Thus, I shot them.

@IrishLincoln Hey man, Peter Paul and Mary weren't half bad!

[asus3571]

@zachcapp because it is a small cal

@ironmonnkey15 Haha, yup, I did mean that.

[ironmonnkey15]

@nasonguy Don't you mean caliber.

[nasonguy]

@killytbe6, nope, no ballistics gel.

I can tell you this though, even at point blank, it would not penetrate more than a couple inches. It would be very difficult to make this round lethal, maybe one of the larger caliper versions, such as 44 mag or .45acp.

As far as "what it would do", that depends on a lot of things. Depends where their hit, the distance, the caliper, whether its coming out of a rifled or smooth bore, and if it's a pistol or rifle firing it.

[killytbe6]

Wonder what these ratshot things would do to a person... Got any ballistics gel?

@nasonguy I know. Excellent tunes to kill lemons to
