Check out the ballistic gel penetration.............. after it goes through body armor.



Military figured out 17 HMR punches through Kevlar helmets and body armor in the late 90s. I was at Crane Naval Small Arms Center and saw the testing.
So instead of spending a few hundred dollars more on more powerful weapons, just get an HMR 15 and you got a critter killer, and a brainpan mixer... not bad.

After looking at a variety of these type of light survival guns, that's what I settled on.

What's even the point of 22 then? Commonality?

Firearms. Only thing where cheap is a legitimate positive.

The Nice thing about the one I'm looking at it has a .22 attachment, for me, that's good because it means that I can do the same thing with a .17 and cheaper too because the .17 is a less common round.

Getting one of these as a boy is cooler than just about anything else.

They're also good for not blowing the fuck out of squirrels and rabbits or other little critters you might want to eat, or making messing up pelts too badly. Every boy should have one, even if it's only to shoot rats at the town dump.

Bingo, ultimate point blank behind the ear round, don't even need a supressor, just jam it up against the head, plap!, and once it bounces around inside the skull, good luck getting any ballistics data off that deformed slug.

.22LR High Standard fully supressed; also favoured by OGA, no doubt still in the SAD arsenal, even to this day, an oldie but a goodie, battle tested, combat proven, in the jungles of Vietnam, no reason to throw it away.

Check the Ruger 22/45 in the hands of Hickok, once he puts the supressor on, ooh baby, they'll never hear you comin' then, Goldilocks, that's Ninjuh yo.
