.22LR not a good round for defense?

Ah, you are getting close. You want to ambush them with your 12 guage instead though. No warning, maximum damage. Its not a guaranteed one shot one kill, but your odds of survival are much higher then laying in wait with a .22

Depends where you put it. In the head, their lethal. As a student I saw a guy in the ER who got shot with a .22 right behind the ear into the skull (was a drug dealer hit). The bullet rattled around inside his head and scrambled his brain into mush.

Anyways, IGBT, I find it hilarious that you say that I know nothing about ballistics, and then instead argue about training. Which is it? Do I know nothing about ballistics or training?

..search your conscience for your own answers on what you know or don't know. Credible fire arm instructors know as sectional density increases in a projectile the difficulty of mastering proficiency increases which is why police are required to "qualify" annually or semi annually with their service weapon.

Nobody's saying a .22 can't kill you. However, look at the difference when next to, say, a .357Sig...pic

.357 Sig is no substitute for the original.

I never really understood why so many people believe a .22LR isn't lethal, or can't stop someone trying to hurt you.

I have heard such myths, that the bullets can't even penetrate someones skull. That if you shot a strong guy in the chest, it wouldn't even go through his chest muscle, or sometimes it won't even break his skin...etc etc.

What a bunch of bullshit. Sure, a .357 magnum will knock a guy down if you hit him in the shoulder, and a .22 will just hurt really damn bad. Sure a .22LR isn't going to do much if a guy has full body armor on. It isn't an armor piercing round, and it doesn't have a lot of mass. But against an unarmored person, an accurately placed shot is still very lethal up to 100+ yards away. And I can sure as hell take a 10/22 with a scope, and place 10 shots within 4 inches of each other at 100 yards easily, and rather quickly. Without a scope I could still probably get a head shot on a human being at 100 yards without to much trouble. I know I can hit a paper plate rather easily at that distance.

This is my personal experience. I haven't ever had to shoot a person, but I have shot plenty of miscellaneous objects, from wood, to different gauges of steel, old cars, water tanks, wood, etc.

Plus you can get banana magazines. 25 rounds per magazine, and they are back to back, giving you 50 rounds, and it only takes about 3 seconds or less to flip the magazine over.

Aren't you told 2 to central mass, 1 to the head if its still there? For all we know, he could be wearing body armor.

EDIT: And yea, recoil would help someone miss high. Anyone who's tried rapid firing without training should be able to attest to this.

"Officially" no, I've never been taught that. But those rules don't apply in the civilian world anyways. If 3 shots is what is necessary to stop an attacker/intruder, then so be it. But when they find a bullet entering the brain from the rear you can enjoy your time in prison, unless you can write a really creative sworn statement.

So turn the intruder over

Good call. Preparedness is next to godliness or something.

Any how the heck did your friend manage to find himself the target of a glancing blow from a 7.62x39?

Not a friend, but thats what happens during wars. I actually know two people that have been shot in the head and were ok. The glancing blow, then in another instance a round struck the kevlar, rode the interior, and then sliced off a chunk of the back of his head. Just a flesh wound though. About a quarter of an inch lower and his head would have turned into sloppy joe.

Aww, in war time. Fortunately I never got fired at during my time in the service.

Stop being a retard. If you have any firearm for home defense it is your responsibility to practice with it every so often as well, whether it be chambered in 22LR or 458 socom.

Btw, you are extra retarded for using "sectional density". I've met plenty of "credible firearm instructors" and not one of them has ever said that. Stop talking out of your ass.

The report recounts that the guy stood there for several seconds, kind of looking around, taking in what had happened, before collapsing to the ground. He actually lived a few minutes, but obviously nothing could be done to save him.

So even the mighty ma deuce won't do anything in regards to movement, even at point blank.

You can shoot 15 different people in the same way and get 15 completely different outcomes, regardless of the bullet used.

^ What he said.

Trooper Mark Coates - murdered with a .22 derringer. The attacker was struck with five shots from the Trooper's .357 Magnum and was conscious when paramedics arrived.

However, that doesn't mean I'll trade my .357Sig in for a .22lr.

RIP

No, but the sound and the small hole will be enough to send most criminals running. The majority are cowards

and how often in self defense do you get the chance to shoot a guy right behind the ear??

no one is saying that the .22 can't be lethal. we're saying it's not a good self defense weapon. there are too many factors to make it lethal or it takes tme to make it lethal. in a self defense situation, you want the lethality (is that a word?) to be immediate and not rely on 20 other factors.

Does anybody who actually owns and/or has fired a Desert Eagle actually call it a "deagle" or is that just a term coined by Counterstrike playing nerds?

never fired one but i have got to hold one! My little brother from the big brother program is in the milatary and a gun nut. he has a nice collection of guns. i was shocked at how big and heavy it was. Not to mention how fucking loud it was when fired.

my uncle sells guns as part of his business. he got in a desert eagle once (not sure what caliber though) and I saw it and held it. they are freaking huge and heavy.
