"the thing that absolutely terrifies me the most. This MP15-22 going into full auto mode".

What occurred after a Project Appleseed "instructor" worked on the gun is the only instance of a 15-22 going full auto I've ever heard of and since Project Appleseeds' ban I've looked for another instances of this.

The 15-22 uses a std AR-15 trigger group that is proven to be very reliable.

Enjoy your new 15-22. I have two I bought to shoot NSSF Rimfire Challenge and other events with. I've been shooting them for 3+ yrs now without incident.

As to Project Appleseeds' ban, my opinion is that they're playing CYA at S&Ws' expense rather than admit that putting shooters elbow to elbow on the firing line is asking for problems.

Edit to add: BTW, the thing that absolutely terrifies me the most. This MP15-22 going into full auto mode. that would get me a lifetime ban at our range. Oh and not to mention, it would scare the living daylights out of me. Seriously
No need for the ouch....the rifle is as safe as any other.

In all my time on this forum....the only time i have heard of a 15-22 going full auto, was when an Appleseed instructor 'worked' on it. That was the only reported instance of this happening ever! Also if that was the rifles fault then the rifle should have been banned there and then, returned to S&W who should have to fight a serious lawsuit for having a dangerous and illegal firearm...makes you question why it wasn't.

Seriously brother check out the testimony of the owners on this forum as to the reliability, function, fun and enjoyment that a 15-22 can and will bring you....just don't plan on attending any Appleseed events with it

Gentlemen,
I read the last page and a half of this thread and I'm troubled by it.

I call your attention to our forum rules:
Quote:
1. We ask that you conduct yourselves as ladies and gentlemen. Civil Discourse and Courteous Behavior shall be the norm.
Do NOT post nudes here.
Do NOT post "girly" pics here or use them for avatars.
Obscene, vulgar, lewd, or ‘just plain crude’ language or images will not be tolerated. Images or Videos in the same vein or displaying such language will not be tolerated. If you cannot use it politely in mixed company or around YOUNGSTERS, please don’t use it here.
"Cre@t!ve sp&!!ing" of the words which the filter traps is forbidden.
Homophobia and gratuitous sexual references will NOT be tolerated.

2. Remember- opinions will differ. Get over it. State your opinion calmly, and allow others to state theirs. Discussion will be fine, but there is no need to take a thread into a verbal fistfight or shouting match.

3. Do NOT descend into personal attacks on a member.
Naiveté, or viewpoints different from yours are no reason to call a member an idiot or moron.
If a poster is obnoxious, report him and ignore him.
Do not feed trolls.
NO LYNCHINGS or MUGGINGS.
/\/\/\/\/\ Read this again... /\/\/\/\/\

Project Appleseed is not the enemy. They're a non-profit organization that relies on volunteers to teach firearm safety and marksmanship. That's a very worthy and noble cause. Attacking one of their volunteers, regardless of their position is uncalled for and out of line.

We're done here...
