Could you save a hostage w / 15-22

[micocyco]

I think I could , 15-22 not just for plinking.

A hostage could be saved with a used soda straw given the right circumstances.

If the dude had a .45 to shoot back at me with then, no..... sorry girls!

 

[johncal]

That's why you use a laser. If it's trained on his face, he would never see you move to give him time to react.

This statement should open up a can of worms.

The U.S. Navy started using the 15-22 instead of cruise missiles...

Do you really want to feed the troll?

You'll be sleeping on the couch for shooting her in the shoulder.

Hopefully when you say, "Please don't harm my family," she will drop to the floor and he will bend his head down giving you ammo room to pleat the Perps skull off..

 

[erick1987]

maybe if you shoot his eye out.

 

[johncal]

And I have proof here

Absent a half dozens shots in less than 2 seconds right through an eye socket into the brain, you'll get the hostage killed. You want to IMMEDIATELY KILL the perp to prevent his killing the hostage. Anything less will get the hostage killed.

Addendum: looking at your target, all the head shots but the one to the eye would likely bounce off the skull. The chance of any of the body shots resulting in an immediate incapacitation of the shooter is essentially zero. Even the (presumable) heart shot would do nothing because of the angle of the shot entering the body. There's very good reasons that .22 LR is not used by tactical teams for taking out perps.

And yea, except for for squirrel and rabbit hunting and rifle matches, the 15-22 IS just for plinking.

When you can put all 25 rounds into a hole the size of a quarter...... at the rate of 4-5 rds/sec........


or 4 holes into a dime size group in under 1.5sec

at 30yds




we will talk again grasshopper


My new motto: " 6 shots one Kill"

 

[Muss Muggins]

Depending upon how far away you were and how big that target was, I'd do a little more work before signing up for Blackwater . . .

So that's where all the .22lr ammo has gone! Them and the Seals..... .22lr makes for a great ammo load out vs. wimpy .223 or heavier than ________.308.

 

[DSLKSL]

Yes you could....

Use the pink camo 15-22. The girl will run to it and the scum bag will die laughing at you. So yes you can

Only if they've seen the correct TV show!

 

[GhostMutt]

mmmm, coffee

Offhand 25 yards......

I could! but only if a plastic baby formula spoon had taken my coffee hostage. I would do anything to save my coffee. One head shot one body shot and I'm on my way home with my hot, steamy, appreciative friend...

This thread is a joke, right?

I bet the OP got a free "I Love walter Mitty" T-shirt with the purchase of his 15-22.

I know somebody who keeps a pellet gun for home defense( he's only 16). He is convinced that it will "make a home intruder go away because getting shot with bb's really hurts!"

You can't reason with some people. It took two shots with my 10/22 to kill a pesky groundhog. First shot to the neck( my rifle
Was sighted in at 100 yards and the groundhog was only 25 yards so I was aiming low to compensate). Next one to the head and he ran back into his hole. I saw him moving around in there. Took about 5 minutes to die
