The 22 caliber bullet has always been an American favorite for many of years. Shooters from any age have been enjoying this bullet from plinking to hunting. The 22 has been used from from training new and experienced shooters, the reason an experienced shooter would use it is because its light weight, easy to handle, and very cheap to shoot. Any body can get good with a gun with practice, but bullet prices fluctuate so much that it makes it difficult. That's why I advise everyone should have a 22 rifle or pistol just to practice if they cant on their normal platform. Many people say that this bullet isn't lethal, well their wrong. The 22 caliber bullet was used back in ww2 as an assassination bullet due to its lethality and lack of noise it creates. The 22 may not hold enough energy to knock a target down but it can easily penetrate even out to 300 meters with out any problem. Don't be miss lead about this little bullet. If you plan on using this bullet as a self defense round, just be sure to shoot for a vital area. All in all the 22 is a great and out standing bullet with many applications of use.
