So you bought a 22 AR-15 rip-off for home defense?
- Thread starter sanjuro
- Start date
its not the best... but hey... better than nothing...
maybe he is worried about rounds going through walls or something?

hopefully the person on the business end of things wont know the difference. With the exception of the mag and the receiver its pretty hard to tell.
a .22 LR will zip right through drywall like butter.
Speaking of. Classic Arms has tactical mossberg .22LR's with red dots for $289 right now.
ive always wanted to shoot one of those AR .22's. they look like fun
maybe he was hoping the looks of the weapon would help with the fear factor and that his opponent doesn't have any gun knowledge
semi-auto does not equal "spray gun"
makes the same size hole as a 5.56
Will it cycle sub sonics?
Man that would be cool but probably not. I think I read that 10/22's had to used as a single shot with sub rounds.
What happens if your practice consists of talking sheeyat about your semi-auto?
i know i wouldn't want to get shot by that, period. while not as manly, a 22LR should still be pretty effective at 10-15 feet inside a house. people get killed by .22s all the time.
a 12 ga pump and a .45 sidearm for home defense would be a much more realistic setup i think.

best home defense cart for the ar/m4 chassis is the .50 beowolf
"Richie loved to use 22s because the bullets are small and they don't come out the other end like a 45, see, a 45 will blow a barn door out the back of your head and there's a lot of dry cleaning involved, but a 22 will just rattle around like Pac-Man until you're dead. "
My Blue Heaven just got added to my Netflx que
One of the dudes I ride with has been checking them out too, but just for punching holes in targets.
Yeah, my 10/22 wont cycle sub-sonics...
my walther cycles subs through a gemtech can like a dream. its a beautiful thang!
.... jealous
my g/f's father bought the .22lr conversion for his match rifle but we shot the .223 this day
that rifle is begging for some parts
i agree. the only thing he did was throw a match barrel on it and different trigger. the guy next to us was showing off his AR with every imaginable accessory available for it. it looked like something from Call of Duty (see stupid)

jebus, you have that many AR's???
the 6.8, .458 and .50 beowulf make me happy in pants.
just curious, whyd you chamber some in the smaller rounds or other sizes like .45's? and why no 5.56's?

I was shooting allot of 3 gun comp at the time I built those and was trying to find good caliber for steels that was economical to reload.
I then used them as training rifles for close quarter combat drills/shoot houses when I was teaching for uncle sam

that video is for suckers
And then it will hit something solid and ricochet back and hit your wife/kids.
either you live in a steel house or you dont shoot much
Brick... and I do enough to hear those puppies wizzing past me when they hit a rock or something.
Also know a (stupid) kid who was cleaning a loaded one and he had multiple wounds from the 22lr hitting bone and bouncing around inside his body.
So maybe it is you that was misinformed.
first of all your are talking about two different things.Brick... and I do enough to hear those puppies wizzing past me when they hit a rock or something.
Also know a (stupid) kid who was cleaning a loaded one and he had multiple wounds from the 22lr hitting bone and bouncing around inside his body.
So maybe it is you that was misinformed.
the lead in a 22LR is whole 100% lead. it is extruded from a lead billet, into a wire, then pressed from a mold. it is so soft by that point you can bite through the bullet itself. typically what you are hearing from any deflection is tiny fragments but mostly pieces of whatever it hit. it will go through block, brick, mortar, lumber, and possibly into the neighbors house before it will stop.
steel is what is used for bullet traps, unless your walls are steel and shaped with deflection you will never find a ricochet.
thus is why it brings us to your second statement, the reason a 22lr will tumble through a human body it due to skeletal deflection. it doesn't happen very often but the bullet may not hit a square angle and begin to tumble thus causing a pinball effect on human bone. these tolerances are far and few between. at most one or two glancing hits.
as for your shooting practices.....if you are hearing things zip past your head...you have not done much shooting to warrant even bringing up the subject, your doing it wrong
