>lightweight>soft-shooting>quiet>inexpensive>doesn't make you a target by looking tacticoolWhy do 22 LR larpers think they need all that "stopping powwah", who do they think they are, Dirty Harry? The Terminator? In a real SHFT situation you'll be crying your eyes out that you didn't go all-in on the true TEOTWAWKI cartridge: 6mm Flobert CourtTo be honest I blame gun youtube. Too many VPN-sponsored funko pop videos on exploding gelatin heads and pork rib body armor, not enough practical matters like how many rounds can a vulnerable civilian carry alone, on foot, without being immediately killed by scavenger warlords for his stash of popular fungible ammunition
>>65221764Why not use an airgun at that point? You'll save even more weight on ammunition.
as a 22 fag, just get an airgun at that point. I shoot my airguns way more than my real steel just cuz i can do it in my garage with a few beers the way a range would never allow, and i dont need to drive an hour into the hills for it either
>>65221764Sorry, nonnie, I like actually having ammo, and I like actually killing things I hit, so it's just not for me.
hot take, i think its overlooked how big of a threat bb and pellet guns will be if the world comes down to normies shooting at each other. that old expression about getting any hole in you that you weren't born with comes to mind.
>>65221764where can i actually buy these?
>>65221980BBs aren't going to do much.A good air rifle is a legitimate SHTF tool.The more powerful ones hit about as hard as a 45, and even the common types are able to take the like of squirrels and rabbits if you're good, and may have value as a weapon of surprise if you have good enough aim (air guns were considered assassin weapons up through the Napoleonic wars, at least, because they're so much stealthier and are strong enough to drop a man if you hit them in one of the weak points of their skull or the like).
>>65221764Because I'm not a gunless yurotrash nigger like you.
>>65221981this. the fact that everyone everywhere has a shitload of 22lr lying around makes it desirable. who the fuck has ever even seen flobert in person?
>>65222050Mexicans, apparently. They have a combination round composed of a 6mm Flobert blank and a .177 airgun pellet.
>>65221981I have seen a lot of Russian and Turkish videos using them, so I'm guessing you can get the ammo and a gun that can shoot them over there.>>65221778I love my airguns, and I want something like this too.
>>65221980They are useful for civilians fighting off other civilians sure, but outside of some niche ones the smaller caliber ones are a nasty dug in bb in the skin/upper muscle at worse. Even 22lr firearms would be far more effective in killing other humans. I think airguns are perfect for quiet hunting though in a situation where you may have to worry about hostile humans tracking you.
>>65226169Well, now you can get an PCP airgun that shoots .25 lead slugs that shoots around 900fps. That would bring a person down.
