    My "zipping through" comment is related to self defense. If someone is charging at you I want as much chance as possible that shooting them will stop them and preferably with one shot. It's not saying that getting shot with .22 can't be deadly but for every story (and they're just that and mostly hunting related) of one tearing something's insides apart there is one of it bouncing off a piece of bone and leaving nothing but a small flesh wound. Mostly it's somewhere in between.

    I believe that the assassins in question also used them at point blank. Hinckley managed to not kill anyone with six shots from 15 feet way despite hitting someone in the head and using crazy explosive ammo.

    That is why the .22 is so dangerous they can bounce around inside as well, But for stopping power I will stick with my .45

    I remember reading an article years ago about which handgun ammo is the deadliest. The author showed statistically that 22rimfire was tied with another cartridge for death rate. I think the other cartridge was a .45 but I really don't remember. The thing that has stuck in my mind all these years is that the .45 killed now. On the other hand the 22 rf took several days to kill someone. The large caliber killed with immediate trauma and shock. The 22rf killed with infections and complications that accumulated over time to be lethal.

    I can not call Hinckley an ture assasin he is a stupid,retard, moron Idoit with a gun with too short of a barrel to get the explosive ammo to explode too short of barrel for good velocity.


    To Atrain1
    gsg 1911 says it has a 5inch barrel, you are good to good with stingers in that but 5inch barrel try some CCI Velocitor 40gr hp 1435fps they should be some harder hitting 22lr ammo good for self defense.

    I have been shooting 22's for 31 years now and I know what they can do.
    as long as your not at point blank range they will do you good.
