Cartridges - .22"RF. Effectiveness on Windscreen:

The .22" RF is way down on power and bullet weight - but can still perform well if used sensibly.


So much depends on the angle of impact - but penetration  isn't an issue in this experiment.

- Not for one minute am I saying that a 22 Rim Fire is good for everything .. but If it's all that you have to hand and you know its limitations - you can do a lot of useful work with one.

Further more, 'two-twos' are the cheapest to run and can be used by just about everyone - making training developed skills available to all. - You've got to have a couple of them in every gun-safe together with a few bricks of ammunition.


- My Ruger 10-22 "Shiny-thing" has proved to be reliable and accurate - while not at all fussy about what brands it will accept. - Here in New Zealand you have to remember that if you want to use a higher capacity magazine such as a 25 or 30 round 'banana' - you'll need to first register the rifle as a restricted category 'E-Cat' weapon - and install a higher police approved grade of security in your home first. -

The cost and delays in registration are a pain - but the enhanced (and approved) certified security is very expensive to buy and install. - Still once you've been down that path - you can buy further 'E-Cats' without too much hassle.
