The "Deadly" 22lr

[George P. Burdell]

No matter which side of the equation one sits, I know from first hand experience that 22lr will not penetrate a level II vest, and most folks wearing a vest wear a level IIIA these days. 22lr zipping through a protective vest is internet bovine scat.

But can it penetrate a Carhartt?

Oh, poo on you and your real world experience....

Internet bovine scat is where it's at.

Well some say it will penetrate a M1 Abrams and bounce around inside, killing the whole crew.....and kill Bison....if they have a squirrel sitting in a tiny saddle on their backs.

The thing I hate about a 22LR for me is the ammo isn't dependable

What about all the "Big" guns people carry and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with them, even after swapping to their extra magazine, will those level III vest stop them?
Why do people practice shooting center mass? They also carry this concept over to deer hunting as well.

I know for a fact that a cool pair of Costas will not stop a 22 lr.

Being more accurate with a rock gets better results than spraying bullets all out amongst the neighborhood.

I still have some of the old reliable ammo. You never know what you're going to get with this new crap.

A well placed 22lr can be deadly to a man, a 44 magnum round that misses makes no impression.

I have a S&W 629 44mag with a 6" barrel, I'd much rather have the Buckmark in a shootout.
