Well i wouldn't completely say a .22lr is not a good defensive weapon. Its better than nothing.
Plus other than living here in cali which your only allowed 10rd, in a free state and able to get 25 plus rounds imagine putting 10 plus rounds quickly into someone. I would say that person will go down for sure unless he's wearing a bullet proof vest or something. Hell shot the legs up.
Also a .22lr can do some damage since it's very light and will bounce around inside the body. Hell it could be more damaging.

Short story (happened in the sacramento area). A kid was playing around with a pellet gun (the pellet was metal) hit his buddy on accident. The kid with the pellet gun was sitting down and his friend was standing by him. If i can remember it right, he was shot some where in the rib area apparently bounced off his rib bone and some how hit a major artery. I guess 10min or so the kid walked home and bleed to death. Internal bleeding. I believe they were like 10 or 12yrs old. I thought cali didn't allow metal pellets or BB's. Anyways it sucks that it happened.

Any how i have a spikes lower and cmmg complete upper .22lr AR style (my first). I shot about 100 rds and had one FTF. I have the BHOA with the second gen mag. Fun to shoot i just need to get it sighted in. I'm just worried that i don't keep getting FTF or FTE often. One of the main reason i bought a AR style .22 is because i had a 2 extra AR lowers and instead of just sitting in my safe forever i might as well put one of them to use. I was going to with Marling or 10/22.

Anyone else have FTF or FTE once in while with their AR style .22lr's? Pretty common?

I'm thinking of getting a marlin 795, or a bolt action version. I assume it would have less issues compared to a AR style .22lrs.
I am using winchester bulk ammo. I'll try federal bulk ammo next. I got them at wally world aka walmart. The ghetto store of america

.22LR would be a good plinker but fairly useless in a defensive situation.
