Testing out the CCI Quiet Segmented at 50 yards vs a simulated zombie skull. Results were....not what I expected. Keystone Crickett Overlander Pack Rifle Ruger 10/22
I think we've all learned some thing that is life-and-death important: we need to avoid using "the CCI Quiet Segmented" in situations like that. Thank you very much for your honest, good, hard work.
Any 22LR ammo labeled Standard or Target is subsonic. No need for special subsonic ammo. Solid or HP and the bullet weight,( Some subsonic up to 60 grns, better penetration for between the eyes or behing the ear for bigger game) the only diff. And dont't forget 22 Short. Quite fast as well
It seems your first two shots were glancing shots, with the second hitting the roll of tape first. The hardness and toughness of a mature coconut like that is certainly stronger than the skull. A young coconut has more the thickness and toughness of bone. You can find those at Asian markets rather than American grocery stores. I appreciate you put up the “failure”, and any situation with any weapon can have undesired results. I’d like to see a retest with either a better coconut selection or a ballistic zombie model.
TOFD G. Good video. Never fear, you are not the only one who has had a bullet not do its intended job. Thanks for sharing, take care and Merry Christmas.
I've always considered that ammo "gamer ammo" for shooting steel up close (r) than ammo that may bounce back off steel. I left my daughters to die on the backs, belly's and breast of their mothers because I predicted the apocalypse in 1984 and wanted to limit the number of zombies and I'm a conservationist at heart trying to save the world from humanity. Oh and a long barreled bolt gun would be a better choice....or a pistol. Sweet CZ btw.
You could have just thrown a hatchet across the parking lot, maybe employed a bladed arrow. But for everything else, there's a CCI .22LR 45 grain LHP Suppressor doing 970 fps. I think the segmented round fracturing upon impact prevented it from reaching full penetration capability before cracking apart.
Thanks for watching! It did seem to explode on the coconut. I did not even consider that it might not penetrate. I might revisit with the standard velocity segmented.
.22 LR is a great assassin's round....at contact range from a pistol. This is a great example of the limitations of low-velocity low-mass frangible rounds at rifle distances.
You fell short on it's capabilities. A 22LR at subsonic speed and a supressor( Target ammo perfect) is very quiet and very capable to 50 yds. But it's quite capable for big game if you shoot under 100 yds and hit where it counts, Between the eyes, behind the ear. Amongst others have shot 400 Lbs rogge cattle between the eyes at 40 yds and lights out
We have done tests with the regular LRN Quiet on various targets at 30 yards. It will do the job, and it might work at 50 yards too. We did not test the segmented Quiet which is designed as a small varmint round. The Remington Subsonic is a bit faster (1050 FPS) with a 40 grain hollow point bullet, but a bit louder. It should be more accurate at 50 yards than the CCI Quiet.
I have not been impressed with fragmented .22 bullets at all. Very little penetration. I will stay with Federal Punch and not worry about how quiet it is.
Both shots were not dead on..clearly that was not a true or accurate test. Can we see a redo? Probably better if you place the coconut vertically not horizontally
Dude, you had a fancy rifle and scope setup and you still just glanced a coconut at only 50 yards??? I'm not professionally trained, but with my Ruger semi auto 22lLR Rifle and scope I could put 3 to 4 rounds in the same hole at 50 yards...
Surprised you didn't use Winchester SuperX 40 grain hypervelocity hollow point. You earlier determined it was the hardest hitting .22lr at up to 1487 fps. I think it has the best chance?
I load tested the cci stinger segmented hollow points in my CZ 452 ultralux. Five shot group was under a half inch at 50 yards. I need to try them on small game. I’m sure they would be wicked. Bought them a few years ago from Sportman’s Guide. Haven’t found any since.
I shot through a roll of aluminum siding the segmented stinger. They passed through all of the coils and didn’t start segmenting with the 1640 fps version till it went through about 20 plus layers. I think the stinger version would rock the coconut! Can you hear me chanting….Re …test….re..test…re..test….and at least save your dog and wife!
@@tripplebeards3427 🤣 I might have to do a coconut series. This particular test was to see if I could do it with the quietest ammo. Guess it's time to go loud now
Yeah, I'll keep this in mind if I ever branch out needing part time work as an assassin to supplement my income, after considering telemarketing of course.
Thanks for watching! The Quiet rounds do not shoot super accurately in my rifle. If you watch until the end, I peg the center of the coconut first time with standard velocity.

Standard velocity CCI for the win. It's subsonic without being labeled subsonic and much faster than the quiet.
Thanks for watching! I was hoping to get a bit more splashy damage with the segmented, but you're right. It's hard to be the ole standard velocity.
@@TheOldFatDadGoober - CCI Quiet LRN penetrated 1" plywood at 30 yards in our tests, from a Savage bolt action rifle with a 21" barrel.

@@PassivePortfolios Wonder how it would do with the plywood at 50... 🤔
@@WillyK51 I've noticed that Quiet ammo IS a good bit quieter than standard velocity.
A coconut can be much harder than a skull
Thanks for watching! I didn't think so, but now 🤔...
Well, it's science
@@ctsnider88 Stupid science, always being right 😡
Well maybe you stunned it enough for her to get away😊

Those glasses look good sitting on your hat. Maybe you should have asked Santa to get you another pair to protect your eyes?

The coconut was much harder than I expected. Thanks for sharing. 👍🇺🇸
Thanks for watching! Surprised me as well.
Please add this to the Zombie Head Practice Fund. I suspect you'll have some friends that also need saving.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the donation! Coconuts are expensive.
No zombies were harmed in the making of this video.

Thanks for watching! I've been getting a lot of requests for a redo. Have to set one up.
Another valuable contribution to science, good work.
Thanks for watching! Mad dad scientist!
Thanks for the real life experiment, now I know to stick with full power 22lr
Thanks for watching!
Came over from 1ShotTV and your Homemade Body Armor! Love the channel and you definitely earned my Sub brother!
Thanks for watching!
40 grain SV or 45 grain subsonic. I would only choose the Quiet if I did not have a suppressor and not a segmented.
Thanks for watching!
U r a great story teller. U should make an extra channel just making stories. Still excellent video and I love that 10 22 set up. Nice.
Thanks for watching! I had to film that first part about 5 times before I got it right! 🤣

use solid quiet,mayby will work.used them in revolver on grouse during deer season so not to scare the deer
Thanks for watching! Good idea! I am going to retry with the standard velocity segmented too.
Love your content man.

I would like to see a series done on this with multiple types of ammo.
Thanks for watching! That's a good idea!

I will stay with Federal Punch and not worry about how quiet it is.
Thanks for watching! The punch is a wonderful round. Definitely no quiet though, like you said.

Probably better if you place the coconut vertically not horizontally
Thanks for watching! I've had a bunch of requests to redo this. I'll be putting it on the schedule.
@@TheOldFatDadGoober
Thanks
How about high velocity 22 bullets? 1,680 fps is a lot more than 1,180 fps...
Thanks for watching! You're right...but...in this scenario I wanted to be as quiet as possible. That high velocity stuff will be way louder.

Thanks for watching! My goal was to use the quietest, most effective round. The Winchester is effective but definitely not quiet.
@@TheOldFatDadGoober sorry, but saw your second video after I replied before. I totally spaced on the "quiet" part...Me bad. Love watching you👍

TRY A CCI VELOCITOR 40 GRAIN HP GOOD REVIEW
Thanks for watching! The velocitor is truly a great round but too loud for this scenario. I wanted to be a sneaky as possible.
Are you gonna show your girls this video so they can prepare to save themselves?
Thanks for watching! They will hopefully know better than to trust their dad in a zombie apocalypse. 😢
Better get some Federal Punch !
Thanks for watching! Great round but a wee bit too loud for this purpose.
I was just talking about you and then this posts 🤔
Same!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the Christmas wishes! Hope you got all the ammo you asked for!
Bad daddy,, Should have been using Stangers! Lol
Thanks for watching! Stingers would have taken down the zombie, but what about all his buddies?!?!!
Got to have a bunch of them.@@TheOldFatDadGoober
Distracted the Zombie enough to come eat you. Two daughters saved.
What if you hit a squash?
Thanks for watching! A squash is nice and squishy. Perfect target for this round.
Let me introduce you to Velocitor!
Thanks for watching! Too loud! Gotta be sneaky around zombies 🤫
Body rot .temple ear eye for hit . Look up Bella and the Brown bear😅
Thanks for watching! If you hit the right spot it could work. I was hoping for success even against the toughest bone. 😢
Maybe get to 30 yards and go for a eyeball shot ? Lol
Thanks for watching!
You need to be a better aim. You keep hitting it on an edge. If you hit it flat on you would get the desired result
Thanks for watching! The Quiet rounds do not shoot super accurately in my rifle. If you watch until the end, I peg the center of the coconut first time with standard velocity.
Zombies are more squishy…. Maybe
Thanks for watching! Maybe...🤔🤔
