      Unless someone was wearing body Armor I wouldn't hesitate to use a .22 long rifle for defense. For one they are highly accurate. And two, a .22 round is more lethal than most people think. A round that small has better chance ricocheting off bones and changing course in the body.. that doesn't happen everytime but it definitely happens

    I'm a 60 year old woman, in my teens I used an antique .22 single shot rifle to hunt grouse...had to shoot the heads off, so as not to ruin what little amount of meat they had on them. I used a 30-30 Marlin lever action for the deer hunting. My dad's antique rifle had peep sights, but mine rifle had open sights.
    I was a very good shot, sometimes I would miss, but usually I hit the bird in the head first shot, which is difficult because those birds are constantly moving their heads about, bopping them up and down and to the left and right. We use to just skin them, rather than defeather them. I would marinate the meat in a brown sugar, apple cider mix, then put it in the smoker for a few hours, using apple wood, or sometimes alder wood, then brush on a little bit of honey and butter mix, wrap in foil and bake the meat. : )
    When I turned 18 and moved out of the house and into my own home/adult life.... my dad gifted me with a .22 revolver for my protection. I still have it. I've had people, (mostly men) tell me I needed a more powerful weapon to kill an intruder if one ever broke into my home.
    Too many people underestimate what a .22 can do...and the one thing I do like about a .22 pistol/revolver is that once fired...and it hits the target, it has less chance than a high powered slug of going through the person. And even if it does, it's lost a lot of energy and the bullet probably isn't going to keep traveling through several walls and end up hurting someone in other rooms, another apartment, or even outside of the building/home.

    The 1-2 mile warning on the box isn't just random CYA. There have been fatal hits with 22lr at 1+mile (random bad luck in these cases) where it hit someone and went through the skin and had a jolly good time on their insides. Turns out it takes very little energy to penetrate human skin. Muscle does a fairly good job of slowing things down though. The more muscle you have the more energy will bleed off. Still, yeah. The hits won't make you DRT but 22lr can cause serious injury at great distance.

    When I was growing up in rural Indiana, we had a burn barrel at the back of our 1 acre property. Behind us was a corn field. I’m guessing two-three hundred yards until it butted up against a line of trees. Then a small river and then just on the other side of the river, a very hole-in-wall general/convenience store. My brother and I had .22LR rifles our dad bought for us (I still have the bolt action one) and we would regularly go out back and shoot holes in the burn barrel and put up targets like pop cans to shoot at.
    One summer we were out riding our bikes and stopped in the store to get a soda. Mind you our house was not even visible from the store. They were talking about the fact that someone had shot holes in the back of the store. 🥴
    We looked at each other and never knew if we were the ones who had shot them. It seemed far-fetched but plausible. Thank God no one got shot or died.

      @@drelipe340 I mean technically a knife is less than 18J, and that can kill you with a good shot. But I think the idea here is kinetic energy being the killer vs putting a hole in something. Obviously penetration matters and if you put a hole somewhere critical, it can kill them. But even without a critical hole, 136J can create enough overpressure inside you to cause massive collateral damage, whereas 18J probably can't. You're talking about something half the size of a 22LR moving at the velocity of a 45ACP. Put it straight through someone's heart or aorta, and I have no doubt it will kill them. Like they said, put enough qualifiers on anything 😁
      Edit: sorry, half the velocity of a 45. So way worse than I thought. My exact numbers were 24gr and 500fps, but apparently a standard 45ACP is around 830fps (and wayyyy bigger). And even they get questioned for their "stopping power" vs mag size 😉

      That is because it has been a really common round for about 150 years and also commonly used by children, so way back yonder times some would think it is such a small bullet they could just shoot it up at birds and squirrels and such which, even in trees, often have nothing but air as a backstop, because what could it hurt? As it turns out the answer is 'Everything' and so some started putting a warning on boxes that it is still lethal and still dangerous and you still have to be careful. Only the very rare idiot would launch a 6.5 Creedmoor up at a squirrel, so there has not been a call to remind people on the box.

      Very perplexing indeed. Shotguns are deadly out to a couple hundred yards with buckshot (low chance that any pellets even connect past that) and longer with a slug if you can make it that far. Any larger rifle calibers are gonna be deadly to pretty much any range due to projectile shape and size, if you can get them out to whatever range that is.
      If money weren't an issue, I'd love to set up a 30-mile long strip of land with markers every 100yds and just arc the hell out of some big calibers and see where they end up. Since that's not possible for me, maybe I'll try to do the math/physics on maximum flight distance if I get really bored one day lmao

Faster than I could react, like a stone skipping across water but 10x faster, I saw the puffs of dirt screaming uphill towards me as a bullet missed my legs by a couple of yards at most. I drove round to abuse the person responsible, and realised they were NOT doing anything I would have considered "really stupid" - just letting their kids shoot up a fencepost well inside their own boundary. Nowhere near my direction, but the bullet had ricocheted off the flat face of a wooden fencepost at a 90 degree angle, then "bounced" its way a good 400m - UPHILL - towards me. "Unexpected" is an understatement. The second close call was so unbelievable I won't mention it. But yeah, 22's can ricochet.

From a variety of things I came up with the most plausible scenario being someone was probably throwing something in the air and shooting at it.

    a lot of people forget .22lr is deadly further than it is viably accurate, good little rounds, i seen someone do the 1" pine board test years ago, they were cutting clear through out at 1400y still. the main issue was that's way further than they were able to accurately shoot, so it was more like indirect fire at that range.

    • @OhSoddit
      @OhSoddit 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not sure about 1" at 1400 yds (Iraqveteran8888 did an extensive pineboard test at various ranges), but 22lr is "potentially" lethal at much greater distance than most would expect. And as for range, "Mark and Sam After Work" had a vid (unless it was faked) getting reasonably consistent hits on a large (yeah, "large") metal plate at 900m. That's a lot further than I would have thought viable, given velocity variations would give a big high / low spread at that range. I myself used to shoot a tree stump at 450m, but I could never "read" the wind - one day I'd be holding 2 feet to the right, another day I might have to hold 6 foot to the left, and I'm stuffed if I could SEE visible indications of what the wind was doing - I'd just walk them in (trial and error) by puffs of dirt. Every different day required a different hold.

    • @Patrick-857
      @Patrick-857 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'm skeptical. At 1400 yards it should only be doing about 9 ft/lbs. Still could be lethal given a lot of different factors, and fairly unlikely, but it wouldn't go through 1" of pine with that energy. At 1000 yards I would say it could go through 1" of pine, because it would still be carrying about 21 ft/lbs of energy, which I would regard as lethal given my experience with airguns of that power level. It depends on a lot of factors though, I don't know what ammunition was used. I have my doubts though, because BC doesn't vary that much in 22lr ammo, and my calculations are based on the very upper level of 22lr velocities available.

Is it going to work for any civilian defensive reason. Probably not the most effective. However it can give more practice time in to be able to put a penny on the floor in one shot without breaking the bank. That's my point of it's effectiveness. Some 22LR systems can be the one thing to put on target and disable a threat with the least danger to anything behind it. I call this a "Soft target round".
