A Funny .22 Ammunition ad

They probably had some High School kid write the ad long rifle and short, makes sense. :rolleyes:
 
For once I am not upset about a thread getting way off topic, It was actually improved on! :D

And, hdwhit, I am fully aware that they may vote, but not so sure that they actually do though. We certainly can hope not! The really frightening thing is they no doubt will reproduce and create more of their kind!!!!

The really sad part is this sort of thing is not so likely to be a result of genetics as it is the current lack of parenting and the great dearth of actual education in our current sadly mis-labeled "Educational System"!
 
This ad really sounds.......

So who do you expect to write the ads? A shooter, sportsman, or a big city advertising employee? Ever really read a car ad? The fertilizer is deep with this stuff.

This ad sounds to me like they let the new kid do it and it got into print without anybody checking it, which is all too common these days.
 
Thought you might get a chuckle from this. Copied from th Academy Sports on-line web-site concerning "Selecting the proper ammunition for your gun".

"A common caliber is .22 and is often followed by letters, such as .22 L and .22 S, which show that the bullets are designed to work with long-barrel and short-barrel rifles, respectively." :p

ROFLMAO!!!



You left a couple parts out:

Before purchasing ammunition online, consider what type of ammunition will work with your existing rifle, shotgun, pistol or other firearm. The caliber of ammunition indicates the internal diameter of each bullet's barrel and is an easy way to determine whether a bullet will fit in your gun. A common caliber is .22 and is often followed by letters, such as .22 L and .22 S, which show that the bullets are designed to work with long-barrel and short-barrel rifles, respectively. By selecting appropriate rifle ammunition and other firearm ammunition, the incidence of jamming is greatly reduced.

To ensure a kill shot when hunting big game, like caribou or deer, choose hollow-tip ammunition, which has a hole in the center that allows the bullet to expand upon impact, optimizing internal damage. Bullets with a full metal jacket are perfect for shooting targets, since their casing lets them travel faster.

Ammunition is largely divided into 2 sections - rimfire ammunition and centerfire ammunition. When it comes to choosing between the 2, centerfire ammunition is generally the better, more versatile option, since centerfire bullets travel faster than rimfire bullets, feature bigger casings and hold more gun powder.

Oh, no. I have fired thousands of long rifles in my 4" barreled model 18. Is the barrel ruined? How about the cylinder? If I do manage to get it repaired wher can I get some SR (short revolver) ammo. My model 17s all have 6" barrels. What should I do about those? Maybe I should just haul them all to the metal recycling plant.

I am just sick about this.
 
Question: Is .22 CB or BB safe to fire in any .22 rimfire firearm?

I hadn't thought of these for awhile and it could be fun in the basement on icy winter days. :)

I've shot both Remington's and CCI's CBs out of my Remington 581 and my Henry Godenboy with zero issues. It has a little more pop than an air gun, so I'd still wear ear plugs.
