gun freaks: will a .22 rifle do some damage?

[Spikesoldier]

?

 

[notfred]

To a squirrel, yes.

 

[minendo]

Yeah. Also depends on the type of bullet you use.

 

[MacBaine]

No, they shoot flowers out the end.

 

[glenn1]

To a squirrel, sure. On a person, not much unless you get a headshot or consider the damage involved when the now very pissed off person you shot with that mousegun shoves it up your a**.

LOL! Depending on where you shoot them and the type of ammo, you can easily kill a 300-lb man with a .22.

 

[Jimbo]

All guns WILL KILL.
A .22 is dangerous and should ge given the same respect that you would any weapon.

I guess I should ask: "Damage to what?"

 

[Evadman]

If you are a good shot, yes. if you suck ass and are lucky to hit the ground, get a shotgun for defence. or that new 50 cal revolver.

 

[Colt45]

Damage?

yes it will kill a person if you hit them in the right spot.

but it's really designed for vermin, there is a reason why armies don't equip .22's.

Do you know what an M-16/A-4 shoots? .223

To what? Yes, it will kill somebody, I've had one friend killed by one with some idiot playing around with it, shot right in the head, died several hours later.

Ummm... an M16 is a .223 cal.

 

[Jimbo]

Actually, a .22 hollow point with a hot load is VERY lethal at close range because they fragment like heck.

What's the maximum effective range of that weapon soldier? (edit, answer later)

There is a HUGE difference between a .22 and a .223 Have you ever fired either one? A .223 has about 10 times more powder behind it than a .22 rimfire cartridge.

Yes, I have a$$wipe, I served 14 years in the US Army. I've shot several thousand M16 rounds.

Even the ones that shoot flowers out the end?????

Then you should be able to tell it apart from something shooting .22LR rounds, shouldn't you, asswipe?

My Dad was shot with one while out hunting years ago. It was from aways away, but he still has a few pellets in his head to this day.

Don't get difficult with me. You know damn well what I was reffering to by ".22".

I was commenting on the post about no armies using .22 caliber rounds. And how many times have you qualified Expert on the M16? I qualified Expert every year on the M16 that I was issued one. When I was issued a .45, and the Beretta, I also qualified Expert on those as well. I do know the difference, and I guarantee I have had more weapons training and experience than you.

 

[Jimbo]

I would rather be shot by an M-16 with a FMJ round that I would with a .22 long rifle w/a hollow point.
