Much has been said about not using the .22LR for social uses but I was at the range today and did some scenario training with a ruger 10/22 and a ruger mark II .22 pistol. Here's what I discovered.....
After about 100 warm up shots with each firearm, I found that I could
Draw the pistol and fire 5 high velocity rounds into the 10 and 9 rings of a standard PPC target at 15 yards in about 3 seconds.
As for the rifle, from standing with in a "low ready" position, I could place 10 high speed rounds into the 10 and 9 rings of the same target at 25 yards in 4 seconds.
My questions are......if a single .22 round does not have stopping power, what about 5 - 10 HV rounds striking the heart/lungs/COM of a violent attacker?
Had anyone ever done any ballistics gel testing on the effects of SEVERAL .22shots in quick succession?
From real life accounts, what is the effect of receiving several .22 wounds in quick succession?
