Often at forums and different sites when you mention that a great survival gun - if you could choose just one - to be a .2LR - you hear from those that discuss it cannot be used to defend yourself.<br /><br />I disagree. I think the .22LR is a great survival tool. I used to own a Ruger Mk II bull barrel pistol - simply awesome.<br /><br />Anyways - great post.<br /><br />Thanks and take care - <br /><br />Rourke<br /><a href="http://modernsurvivalonline.com" rel="nofollow">ModernSurvivalOnline.com </a>Rourkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09646066376867283485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-66682767565621552942009-08-15T00:52:19.651+01:002009-08-15T00:52:19.651+01:00Get some experience with the standard NATO caliber...Get some experience with the standard NATO calibers, as well. If all you are familiar with is the .22, don't expect to be very effective when you do acquire better weapons. Also, as others have said, an M1A, M14, or other .308 battle rifle will allow you - with some training - to reach out and touch someone using an AR or AK at a greater distance than they can effectively target you. IF you know what you are doing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-41552283409316656752007-05-14T22:26:00.000+01:002007-05-14T22:26:00.000+01:00If you can find them, the romainiam trainers are a...If you can find them, the romainiam trainers are a great bargain and thier long barrels allow for complete powder burn. this does two things, it gets max velocity, and it eliminates most muzzle blast hense noise. with the .22 super colribi from aguila, the drop of the hammer is louder than the report. .22 shorts and subsonic are pretty quiet, but not silent. wouldn't raise too much suspicion, kind of sounds like a hammer hitting a peice of wood. most folks dont recognize a quiet gunshot as such. the 22 pistols are loud tho.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
