Topic	What's the deal with extra small calibre, high power rifles?
WhiskeyDisk 09/29/17 11:15:15 PM #19:	XlaxJynx007 posted... WhiskeyDisk posted... The .22 round is also known to tumble as it's centrifugal force from the rifling falls off. The practical upshot of this is people have been hit in the ankle with a .22 round and had the thing run straight up their legs thru their organs and rattle around their brain case a few times. Small rounds IMO are far more dangerous than larger rounds because the larger rounds at least remain stable in their trajectories far more readily than unpredictable small calibers at distance. I'll take kinetic energy over hoping that a bullet tumbles. Don't get it twisted, when I still had my pistol permit back in CT, I carried a .40. I would never rely on a small bullet doing something crazy. Had I been older and wiser, I probably would have carried a 9mm as it would have been sufficient for my purposes and weighed half as much, all I'm saying is that .22 rounds can do more damage than it is typically given credit for. Flesh and bone is no match for any sized piece of metal travelling a thousand plus feet per second. --- http://i.imgur.com/4fmtLFt.gif http://s1.zetaboards.com/sba/ ~there's always free cheese in a mousetrap. <cite>WhiskeyDisk posted [p:887544247] in What's the...
