Once you start looking at .40mm, .45mm, or .357 then you're doing some REAL damage and achieving knock down power.

Just a thought. Something to keep in mind.

eRep eh??
HaHa, you'll get the rep once ya stop talking about ya .40 cal .. LMAO

OK, just kidding, but good point, a .22 aint going to do anything for you other than go "Hunting Wabbits"

I don't think he'd be using the .22 for anti-personnel, but for a general survival type rifle... small game hunting... that type of stuff.

The 10/22 has a great reputation and a long history. It's very mod friendly and obviously cheap to operate, as bulk .22lr is effing cheap!

I don't have one (yet).

I think a .22 would have more knockdown power than your .40mm and .45mm weapons combined

Yeah but you said .40mm, which would be .015 cal.

A .22lr probably won't kill someone right away unless you get a perfect hit, but it will kill someone. But the point of something like a 10/22 in a "end of days" situation is that you can get squirrels and rabbits cheaply and reliably with it.

They are useful and fun to plink with. And cheap!

yeah, like Steve said, I am happy with my 9mm and the hollow point bullets for personal protection.

Just need the .22 for general type survival (cheap bullets, lighter to carry, etc). Also, someone probably wouldn't survive a bullet wound if there are no doctors around.

I'll try to stay up-to-date on the thread... would like to join you guys if you go shooting as a group.

One final thought, did any of you buy emergency food back when Congress wouldn't raise the debt ceiling to avoid losing the AAA credit rating?

Well water is more important than food LOL.

But I do may have a little reserve, but I'm not sharing details

"Prepping" is a whole other thread/topic, but there are plenty of resources and YouTube LOL.

You should also check out a book/PDF download, called "LDS Preparedness Manual"

I'm not a "prepper" and I firmly believe 99% of the SHTF-talkers talk it WAY too far.

But that doesn't mean I won't be ready.
