People underestimate the 22 because it makes such a small hole. Ice picks make small holes as well, but they will still kill you.

... if a .22LR is all you got ... that's what you use :face-blue-wide-eyes:

I had to shoot a black bear with a 22 bolt action single shot. One round right behind the ear, instant stoppage of the bear. Not the gun i would have chosen.

I have killed well over a hundred wild hogs,most running, the largest close to 400 lbs. my rule was put three rounds into the rib cage as fast as you can from a 10/22 before you even think about looking up from your sights,worked 99% of the time.

If it’s all I got and the animal is charging, I’ll empty all I got! Maybe he won’t eat me!

I'm a Avid Hunter in south Alabama. I spend a lot of time on the river hunting, the upper and lower deltas. The rifle I use most in my life is a 22 caliber. I have killed more deer than most men in a lifetime with just a 22. From 60 to 70 yd out And hogs, I have killed thousands of hogs. From 25 yd to 70 yd. I have killed raccoon possum, squirrel. And many other critters, with nothing more than a 22 And yes, I own all kinds of guns, from AR's to lever action to bolt guns. Now, if I had a choice I would not use a 22 for a big game like bull lilk. Mountain lion. Bear. If I had a choice, I would grab the 308 or 30-06. But if my life was in danger, I would use anything I had a well placed shot would take any animal down. Do not underestimate the 22 rifle. It is the best gun on the market for a cheap price to hunt. It is a pure workhorse.

I completely agree with this video. But if 22 is all you have, find a way to keep a full auto pistol variant

shot lots of steers and hogs for butchering, just waited till I could target the X from the eyes to the ears - taken out lots of coyotes and badgers with my .22 including side shot, lots of rounds plus thousands of gophers at 100m that is one thing about the .22 minimal recoil which allows for good placement - if the only gun I could have it would be a .22 with a 10/22

there are only a couple of "instant off switches" you have to hit it, no matter the caliber you choose. i have heard that the .22lr has taken out more bad guys than all others combined. people that underestimate the .22lr don't understand how killing stuff works.
