What's the point of .22lr /k/?
Good for target shooting and cheap as fuck

>>29280786
>9mm is just as cheap
Killing little furry woodland critters that are unfortunate enough to wander onto your homestead.
.22lr is the gateway drug of guns. First tou're with your friends plinking, and then a month later you're slinging .45 ACP into a bank teller to afford your addiction.
And some states want to legalize. Makes my blood boil.
Killing squirrels and other varmits without having to spend 50 cents a round, wear earpro, have a sure-fired backstop, or turning the target into pink mist.
Anti aircraft capabilities

This anon gets it. Rimfire is fucking trash unless you buy the more expensive shit like CCI's higher tier whereas you could find cheap 9mm for about that price and have a far more reliable and useful platform. Whoever invented rimfire should be gassed

Cheap, good for teaching children who are small or scared of recoil, good for hunting small game.
>>29280786
Not only is the ammo cheap and abundant (though not as such since Sandy Vagina and the fudds hoarding it all), the rifles are cheap too.
You can get a 10/22 for $200 to $220 on sale.
Marlin 795s are under $150, but they aren't as good as they used to be. I got mine back in 1997 though.

It's the easiest round to stick into your urethra for masturbatory purposes.

Wot
Don't know what to tell you, I was just at a big gun store in ky the other day and a guy had 500 rounds of aguila .22 and loads of people were buying cci and shit.
I didn't buy any yet so I'm not sure if they have limits, they might.
>>29281144
This nigger never shot a .22 rigle in his life. What kind of human being lives like that?
>>29282140
But he's right. You need earpro for .22lr.
Just checked gunbot.net
.22lr price per round $0.10-0.15
9mm $0.20 a round
You are fucking retarded
Just about every firearm and caliber has a purpose. Several good reasons have been listed above
>>29280786
>9mm is just as cheap
>>29282049
Try .17HMR
>>29282150

>>29282150
shot thousands of .22 rounds as a kid in the woods. never wore ear protection, never had a problem.
>>29282182
It can be found online for .07-.08 cents a round of you look.

>>29282150
Not with a 20 inch bolt gun
It's 130 decibels, which is below the threshold of damage for impulses.
Your 16" 10/22 or pistol? Sure.
Anyway, .22LR is for target shooting, hunting small game and assassinations.
>>29282230
It doesn't matter about your anecdotes, .22lr is objectively loud enough to require earpro over time.
Not trying to be offensive just saying
>>29280830
He's right.i started doing .22 when I was just 14, stole some of my dad's. By 18 I was using buck shot, robbing convenience stores all over the Midwest to just get the next box.
Now I sleep with my Scar, spent 5.56 wrapped around me like a sea. I don't even remember the bank robbery, I just remember picking it up from my FFL dealer.
Now I tried my buddies .50 Beowulf. And now I need more. My last option is at hand- my greatest heist yet- Fort Knox
Then I can afford my addiction for life.
shit's cheap as dirt compared to most calibers, and can do just as much damage shooting someone as a 9mm. What's not to love?
>>29282257
I'm getting a 28 inch barrel .22lr very soon, wish I had a way to measure the decibels but I'm not spending loads of money.
Even for impulses of sound at 130db I would personally still wear earpro, continued exposure to that level can still damage hearing so I'd rather not risk it.
>>29282259
im not offended. I am just saying that as a kid I fired about 1000 rounds a month for years. in my teens I had my hearing tested by a doctor and it was found to be above average. so you saying that every .22 rifle puts out 130+db is FUDD. not every gun puts out the same db for a given caliber. that is just stupid.
>>29282259
Depends on the gun
20 inch bolt gun is 130 decibels with supersonic ammo; army did a study and you can shoot that indefinitely without problems (130 decibel single impulse).
It's only with 16" barrels, open bolts (sound exits with the ejected case) or pistols where it's 140 and over.
>>29282300
Maybe your hearing was even better and the slight loss still didn't put you into average? I'm just saying everyone who knows hearing says ear pro with .22, every shooter I've seen that I trust uses earpro with .22, I am going to use earpro with .22 and I think everyone should to avoid damage even if it's minor, or maybe even undetectable.
>>29282315
Do you have a link to that study?
I also wonder how much louder the higher velocity .22lr loads are

Had an awesome weekend with the nephews and niece shooting at clays they had set up. I'm to lazy to do the pellet gun thing. Was really impressed on Sunday night when they all explained how to handle the 22 and all the safety rules of shooting the thing. Ages 8 to 11
>>29280786
>>29282521
I've fired my 10/22 without earpro my entire life. It isn't even as loud as a good fucking solid slap on my wifes ass. Yes firing a .22 revolver or automatic handgun royally fucks your ears, but dont be some kind of pussy that needs earpro when the guy next to him coughs.
>>29283488
I didn't make them wear ear pro...does that make me a bad person? They scream louder at each other when fighting or getting excited
I don't think its the magical survival ultimate plinking and hunting round like this fuckers with piles of it do. I've only found 2 uses for it: showing girl how to shoot gun, and fishing gun.
If it was survival mode I can shoot .38 special at small game and .357 at larger game, in one gun, so fuck your survival .22. When fishing in local areas, I carry a piece of shit heritage 22 because my S&W isn't going to be around a bunch of water and fish guts, and I can fire off a few rounds at a snake, a nutria, or absolutely nothing, without plugging my ears or alerting every fudd trying to catch bass or every hippie trying to smoke weed with nature.

Totally agree with you on the survival round thing, I don't understand the collector thing of it. Awesome at plinking and dispatching little critters. I've heard bar talk of people claiming taking out coyotes with it...which I can't see as being possible. Those same people say it's good for shining deer cause its quiet. Those same people having adjacent land to my father's farm. But I know they've shot at deer with the shit cause my uncle has bagged two bucks with small holes in them during slug season. BTW dnr does shit about that unless caught in the act same with trespassing.
>>29281091
Oh boy do I agree. Shooting a .22 at a metal target 200m away and waiting a second for that *ting* is so satisfying.

Unless you want a 357 lever gun.
>>29283811
Why are you skeptical of it taking coyotes? That isn't exactly difficult and .22lr is not that weak.
Also look up some vids on YouTube there was one where a guy cut a deers head off and fired some .22lr through its skull. It's not hard to kill a deer with .22
>>29285213
> buying a luxury 10/22
It's like asking Ferrari to make you a subcompact with no frills. Sure, it's pretty, but to what end? At a certain point, shouldn't function trump form?
>>29280786
>>29285269
Because it's more fun, more accurate, far quieter (barrel length) and is just a way more quality rifle.
The 452 most say are sub MOA or MOA rifles out of the box.
it was $20 for 500 (4 cents a round) of federal a few years ago (2012-2013), now they're what, $65? i don't see the point in buying more .22 until prices go down
>inb4 buy it online
show me a site that has .22 for cheap
>>29285323
To each their own, I guess. It just seems silly to spend big boy dollars on a .22lr when you could get a passable rifle in actual rifle caliber, like a .243 or .270, or start putting down seed money for a PCC or AK/AR.
>>29285536
I paid around 440 for this rifle everything included all fees and everything. I don't think that's that bad, and I'll be able to shoot it far more than if I had a similar rifle in .270 or even .223 or something.
>>29285536

But seriously, cheap and eats any type of round you feed it. I've never had a malfunction out of a thousand rounds (outside of a single failure to feed caused by the mag not sitting right). Pretty accurate too for what it is. Great camping gun.

>9mm is just as cheap
>>29285640
Touché, I concede small mag size. I think they did that because of the assault weapon ban years.
But for the warranty, low cost, low cost ammo, and reliability I think you would find it hard to get a similar deal. Kel tec sub2000 maybe, with them extendo clip Glock mags maybe, but idk much about kel tecs. At cx storm and p90 prices I think you may as well look at an AR.
It's an ammo for poorfags and fudds.
>>29285716
Yeah, cosmetically I love the Cx and the CZ Skorp Evo, but fuck me if I'll pay battle rifle prices for PCC performance. I actually like the look of the HP995 in 9mm, and would consider getting one after I fill my "must have" list (.308 raifu, 12ga tacticool, and AR or AK). I just want to make to get the 15-round mags as well. It's not 20/30 but it's something.

>>29285765
Unfortunately I've heard that the tapco 15 rounders are iffy quality control wise. Idk if that has changed. I just got the clip on mag holders and just keep two in the stock clip.
I understand having the must haves tho, priorities, etc.
>>29283961
The real problem with 300m is the fucking wind.
It's impossible to hit your target as soon as there is a breeze that's inconsistent.

>>29286142
Well, that makes more sense. Glad that shit's done with now.
>>29280756
It puts holes in targets at the range just as well as other calibers.
>plinking
What kind of retarded concept is this? If you just want to boringly shoot a tiny round why not shoot a bb gun? It's way cheaper and you don't have to clean it.
.22lr used to be as cheap as a bb gun, now it's pointless because idiots will pay $5 for 50 rounds driving up the cost. It was a no-brainer when it was $1 for 50, essentially it was just a bb gun (that you can't shoot your friends with). No it's not going to teach you any fundamentals of marksmanship, other than how to line up sights, because there's no recoil. Stop spreading that fuddlore.
It's also not a good survival rifle. Head me out: anything you can kill with .22lr you can catch in a snare or similar trap. Snare wire is way lighter and takes up less space in a pack than a rifle and a bunch of .22 bullets, and it's reusable. You can set up 100 snares and catch a shit ton of small game for much less carry weight, and use the weight you would have wasted for a real gun that can take large game and protect you better.

>>29280786
>9mm is just as cheap
>>29281240
Bullshit
Its most likely the best round for home defense. It is cheap and reliably. You can shoot it out of a roll of paper if you wanted to and use the gunpowder in any other cartridge you want because of its common size and shape of the powder it results in high velocity.
>>29280786
>>29286256
proper aim, same sight picture, breathing control, trigger squeeze.......not to mention needing all the same safeties as a larger centerfire firearm, keep pointed in a safe direction, finger off trigger until ready to fire, yada yada yada. You are a no guns faggot that needs to not talk on a topic you know nothing about. It's been time proven over and over and over.
Well done to every Anon!
This is Screencap worthy..
>>29280756
It's sacred.
If you go to a store and ask for reloading components, the first answer is wide eyes. And then they start to pile up 10/22 stocks in the backyard to burn you on for this heresy.
>>29280756
to hit hard and fast, cheaply. To fragment and ricochet inside rib-cages and craniums.
Silent
Fire-power in smallest package
I have seen .22lr take down a full size bucks in one shot. Make no mistake this is a deadly, brutal round.
>>29282257
So if it were good for assassinations why then would it not be good in SD? the fight is usually over in the first 3 rounds, so reliability isnt a n.concerm
>>29288276
No, i have seen LARGE game and alligators dropped clean by .22lr, lets not even get into .22 WMR hat beast will put your ,45 to shame as far as lethality.

Only if they only have a shotgun certificate. If they have a full on FAC then it's higher.
>>29280756
I have my .22s for a few reasons.
1. It's cheap, and I shoot a lot on a budget.
2. My little brother sorta likes shooting, but hates noise and recoil. He wanted something he could shoot and not be afraid of, and use in the zombie apocalypse if the time comes.
3. I take a lot of anti-gunners shooting for their first time. So I bought an MP5 clone chambered in .22 to introduce them to spoopy "assault rifles" and show them they're not all bad.
It may be a glorified BB gun, but guns is guns and I'm poor
>>29280756
If I was inna mountains and could only shoot small game i'd obviously take a .22 with me.
>>29289832

Seriously, anyone who doesn't like .22 doesn't really enjoy shooting
Literally every serious gun aficionado I've ever met (and I mean they own more than ten guns) has a .22. Fags who buy center fire rifles and Deagles exclusively are total tryhard fags who can't get a submoa grouping at 25 yds with a scope.
.22s are THE SHTF rifles and pistols
long after everyone has run out of 7.62x39 Tula and .223 American Eagle, there will still be .22s spitting lead.
Get bent fagggggg
>>29289832

>>29292626
I like that post number. I agree with you as well, I myself have around 26,000 .22 stocked up
When are the fucking .22 hoarders going to start dying so their relatives can sell that shit dirt cheap?
I could drive to 10 stores that sell ammo right now and not find a single round of .22 in any of them.
Some of you fuckers are lucky that the hoarders have slowed down in your area, but it's still on in full force where I live.

In a shtf scenario I'm willing to bet that:

2- the government would likely restore some kind of order within a year in some areas, and within 5 years most major infrastructure will have been reclaimed
3- re loaders, looted armories, and trade will fill the need for everyone else
>>29280786
Shut up.

My aunt is the sporting goods department manager at the Canton, Ga Wal-Mart. For over a year now, she has been holding every box of .22 that comes into the store for me. I go in to buy it, she goes on break and buys it for me with her discount. It works out great.
