Especially for some intruder high on drugs. Even a 9mm, you'd still be lacking knockdown power. Once you start looking at .40mm, .45mm, or .357 then you're doing some REAL damage and achieving knock down power.

Just a thought. Something to keep in mind.

eRep eh?? :tup:
HaHa, you'll get the rep once ya stop talking about ya .40 cal .. LMAO

OK, just kidding, but good point, a .22 aint going to do anything for you other than go "Hunting Wabbits"

I don't think he'd be using the .22 for anti-personnel, but for a general survival type rifle... small game hunting... that type of stuff.

The 10/22 has a great reputation and a long history. It's very mod friendly and obviously cheap to operate, as bulk .22lr is effing cheap!

I don't have one (yet).

I think a .22 would have more knockdown power than your .40mm and .45mm weapons combined:roflpuke2:

Here you go, check out these Vortex scopes. A dozen or so decent scopes for $200 or less, that will easily get you hitting the target ~300yrds

Vortex Scopes Lifetime Warrenty

I have a Vortex Crossfire 4-12x40

:tup:
Darren, Im strongly considering the Vortex StrikeFire, they've got good reviews. Im about 90% sure, thats where Im going.

Yeah but you said .40mm, which would be .015 cal. :bowrofl:

A .22lr probably won't kill someone right away unless you get a perfect hit, but it will kill someone. But the point of something like a 10/22 in a "end of days" situation is that you can get squirrels and rabbits cheaply and reliably with it.

They are useful and fun to plink with. And cheap!

Ahh thanks buddy, I didnt know it calculates like that.:tup:

yeah, like Steve said, I am happy with my 9mm and the hollow point bullets for personal protection.

Just need the .22 for general type survival (cheap bullets, lighter to carry, etc). Also, someone probably wouldn't survive a bullet wound if there are no doctors around.

I'll try to stay up-to-date on the thread... would like to join you guys if you go shooting as a group.

One final thought, did any of you buy emergency food back when Congress wouldn't raise the debt ceiling to avoid losing the AAA credit rating?

Well water is more important than food LOL.

But I do may have a little reserve, but I'm not sharing details :nutswinger:

"Prepping" is a whole other thread/topic, but there are plenty of resources and YouTube LOL.

You should also check out a book/PDF download, called "LDS Preparedness Manual"

m4a1mustang 09-15-2011 07:01 PM
I'm not a "prepper" and I firmly believe 99% of the SHTF-talkers talk it WAY too far.

But that doesn't mean I won't be ready. ;)

I contacted this lady that was on the show "Extreme Couponing" gave her $500 and she hooked it up.
