One word. Headshot!!

Not even just headshots. Body shots with a .22 do damage too, people have this idea that it's about as useful as a bb-gun but it's completely wrong. It should be respected as much as any other firearm.

It's just like the argument for birdshot. People act like birdshot is complete shit and won't kill anyone, and at a certain distance that's true, but I dare you to stand 40 feet away and take a round to your chest. Shit will still do damage regardless. Either one in a self defense situation is much better than being unarmed.

bb and pelet guns are deadly too... anything that shoots a prjectile should be treated with the same respect.


youre missing the point of what ive said. if youre buying one handgun for both carry use and plinking id suggest you not buy a .22. a 9mm or .40 is a much better defensive weapon and they are still semi affordable to shoot.

It's a good point, but that's where I step in. I have exactly what you pointed out, the .45acp for defense and the .22lr for plinking. You can bet your ass I will trust my life with either caliber in either situation. I have about 6-7 .22's it's my main source of target/small game. I could hunt deer with a .22, but one, their illegal to hunt with and two, distance is limited, but if I'm within bow range,75 yards or so you can bet whatever is at the end of my barrel is dead.

Remember, your training you, not the gun. A .22 will be one of the most reliable guns, if you take proper care of it.

That made no sense. You know why its illegal to hunt deer with a .22? Because chances are you will just injure it instead of killing it right away. I could kill a deer with a knife if I could get close enough but that doesn't make it practical.

I guess I didn't explain it well enough..I know exactly why they are illegal. I hunt every single year and haven't missed a shot. In most cases, yes you will only injure the dear. If I was going to shoot a deer with a .22, I won't, but if I did I have enough knowledge to know exactly where to shoot it and kill it with one shot. If I was 100 yards away I would do the logical thing. Get closer. It's not about the caliber, it's about the shot.. Learn to place shots and you won't have to worry about which caliber you have in your hand.

On another note, I want to see a deer get gutted with a knife.

I think I have an addiction.

are those egyptian kits legal in ca? fairly cheap and quite awesome.

[William]

Do you have the right tools to put it together? Where are you getting the receiver from?

[BOUNCEHOUSE420]

if you configure them legally yes. the only part that may be banned is the receiver which is also the only part considered a firearm. but in order for them to be imported the receiver has been destroyed so you have to bend up your own.

my friend has built a few so he has the bending and riveting jigs also the stuff to populate the barrel. i will be buying the receiver as flat either online or at the gun show.

The barrels are chopped up and replaced with american ones too if I'm not mistaken. Partly for 922r compliance and for some other stupid import reason

Its for atf import reasons you can buy kits with new barrels installed but they cost quite a bit more. I'm gonna sell the crutch stock and use the money to buy a new us made chrome lined barrel
