It's a great gun to have, especially for home defense. There's a ton you can do with it in terms of modifications so it can best suit whatever you want to use it for. It may be big, black, and scary to people who don't understand guns, but it's a wonderful gun to have, even for people new to firearms.

We had a garden that was about an acres at it's largest, and as a result of growing strawberries, green beans and sweet corn, we always had pests around. There was always at least a 22 sitting in the entrance corner with a mag on the window sill, and early on, usually a 410 shotgun until 410 ammo became so expensive. I wasn't allowed to shoot a 22 unsupervised until probably 13 or 14, but as soon as I got one, I shot it non stop. Same with all my older brothers.

The thing in the Korean War was caused by the ammunition in the M1 Carbine. The 30 carbine is PLENTY powerful enough it’s equivalent at 100 yards to a 357 magnum at point blank. The problem came from a change of powder after ww2 the new powder behaved and performed well in warm climates where it was test HOWEVER in the frigid temperatures found during the Korean War it didn’t burn properly and the rounds were barely breaking the sound barrier around 1,100 FPS. Ian McCollum did a video on it a while back if I remember right.

I think the birdshot thing is people wanting to “scare them off” and not kill them lacking the understanding that you want the person to stop involuntarily.

[@kerbalairforce8802]

Bird shot still puts lots of holes into someone. Shooting someone with buck shot is like shooting them with 8-9 9mm rounds. Shooting someone with bird shot is like shooting them with 20+ 22 cal bullets. I'd recommend a smaller person use bird shot and shoot more than once.

[@mikeljenks]

@@kerbalairforce8802 Birdshot is smaller than a BB. It will not put a .22 sized hole in someone.

[@stuckgrenadepin.225]

@@kerbalairforce8802no. There was a shooting at a college in Seattle where the shooter shot a girl, a kinda hefty girl I will admit, at point blank range (3-4 feet) in the chest with a 12 gauge hunting shotgun and she walked away from it. Unless you get them in the throat or in the face so it blinds them, birdshot is the last thing you would want to use for defense. #4 buck is the smallest I would recommend and it has some kick behind it so it is not for beginners or smaller stature people.

[@oceanwaves83]

​@stuckgrenadepin.225 that story sounds suspect. No way it was a 12 or 20 gauge, even with #8 target shot (less potent than hunting bird shot). Im not saying bird shot is good for self defense but no one's walking away from a blast that close. Also, goose shot is extremely potent (somewhere in the neighborhood of 60-100 pellets 18-22 caliber each). All these rounds are no joke. With bird shot it completely depends on distance. Obviously if the target isn't close it becomes far less lethal.

Thanks guys, guess I’m off to get some birdshot 😂 Wish we could’ve addressed the congresswoman who said an AR weighs as much as 10 boxes of something that you know, you would be moving. You guys should’ve been dangling one from 2 fingers when it cut back to you. Seriously though, as an NRA instructor it’s nice to see some videos of people keeping it simple. We had so many first time gun owners purchase firearms in the last few years and they literally don’t know where to begin and they’re afraid to ask questions that might make them look stupid. I teach my courses always assuming nobody has any experience at all and I literally start with the basics of ‘keep it pointed in a safe direction, keep finger out of trigger well, etc. I make people load their magazines to full capacity and it’s surprising how many can’t get the last coupe rounds in and so they just always carried it that way vs. building up hand strength and learning new techniques. There’s millions of videos for us guru’s to watch all day long but not so many that address the unspoken newbie nuances of gun ownership. Lowering the perceived threshold of knowledge of firearms needed to be ‘in the club’ is exactly what’s needed and so thank you Steve & Mike for doing just that. ~One team, One fight

The criticism of 9mm Parabellum is usually that it is marginally adequate. It is easier to shoot accurately than a 45ACP or .357 Magnum, and most people do not train enough, including most police. Mostly, the point is to use good hollowpoints in whatever cartridge one uses.

[@thetechlibrarian]

I'm not against using whatever you have, however I do believe there is something to be said about having 16/21 rounds in a 9mm when you are amped on adrenaline and it's a. Scary situation

[@stuckgrenadepin.225]

Overall I would agree, but a good full sized .357mag is not hard to shoot for the average person. The real problem with it is when people only ever shoot a “carry size” .357mag. The super lightweight, small gripped .357mags are a pain in the ass to shoot even for experienced shooters. What I have found, though, is that those that can shoot a .357mag in double action revolvers reasonably well can usually shoot a semi-auto 9mm very well compared to the average person.

[@oceanwaves83]

357 is roughly 10-20% more potent than 9mm on average. Some brands, they're virtually identical. 45 is comparable to 9mm, some brands 45 is more powerful and some it's the opposite. And 9mm will recoil less. Also people shouldn't underestimate 380. 380 is 9×17 while 9mm is 9×19. The difference is noticeable but 380 is quite dangerous. It's best to treat all these rounds with utmost caution and with safety in mind.

[@tomhalla426]

@@stuckgrenadepin.225 I agree, sort of. The most unpleasant pistol I ever shot was a tiny .32auto. The design of the pistol, and if it fits your hand well, and the weight matters more than the cartridge as such. Whatever you can shoot well, and actually use, matters.

[@stuckgrenadepin.225]

@@tomhalla426 I can agree with that and will even say that neither point is wrong or right. Some guns are just unpleasant to shoot. Some are just hard to shoot. I have a little Taurus pt-22. The tip up barrel pocket gun. It is very finicky in ammo selection. If you try to use standard hollow points it jams. Mini mags will actually cause it to cycle so violently that the slide comes off. Remington subsonics are the perfect fit and I can drill the little pistol targets at 60 feet with it. Most every one else hates that gun. Most people hate my tokarev too but I love it.

In the military we were taught that the benefits of the 5.56 was 1. Its a low recoil and flat shooting round so its easy to learn basic accuracy for soldiers with minimal training. 2. Its ammo is light compared to other rounds allowing a soldier to carry more. 3. The small bullet is better suited to WOUND rather than kill. A wounded soldier consumes more resources than a dead one. Overall the lack of "stopping power" in the round fired by the M16 and the AR15 is why soldiers involved in house to house close combat, called for a round with more mass and more stopping power like the .300BLK.

[@kerbalairforce8802]

The "designed to wound" is some of the original Fudd lore that came from guys who saw .223 as a varmint round and didn't want to give up their heavier M-14s.

[@txkevin3467]

@@kerbalairforce8802 It was explained that the ball round tumbles within the body making erratic wound channels. In addition, it often lacks the penetration ability to pass though bone so it tends to travel along the bone. The example was, it can hit you in the leg and come out of your neck rather than simply passing straight through your leg like a 30 06 round would.

No that education would be smacks to the face or ass for: pointing the gun in the wrong direction, not checking if it's empty b4 handing it over, using the rifle as a walking cane, or getting forward of the person shooting etc. To be specific from my memory. The only educational video my dad showed me was a VHS of Exploding Varmints.

Stoner’s role was to collaborate with Sierra to devise a bullet based off the .222 Remington cartridge. He had little involvement in the project of scaling down the AR-10 as he wasn’t an actual engineer. Even when he went to work for Colt as an advisor, they didn’t agree with him when he argued that the forward assist wasn’t a good idea ... He was never a fan of devising a weapon that fired such a small caliber, he thought that was also a mistake. This info can be easy found on KZbin in video interview form.

The New York City police had a period of time where their purchasing department bought them the cheapest hollowpoints they could get for their .38 Special revolvers. They were so weak that down filled jackets would stop the bullets. In the 1900's, the Shanghai/British police had bullet resistant vests woven out of spider silk that could stop the smaller pistol rounds of the day (.30 Mauser, .32ACP, .380).

[@nateh2652]

Im a butcher, and we put down pigs and sheep with a .22lr to the brain. They do not bounce around, they dont liquefy the brain, they often go through and through. Just that pencil sizes hole as well as energy dump is enough to disrupt the brain and be lethal. Its really quite fascinating

The reason people think bird shot to be effective is because it (very close) range it can cut 2x4 in half if they were close enough to where the barrel is almost touching them withing a foot it will blow a huge hole into them. Thats why people think it will work is the close range affect it has. Paul Harrell did a very good video on this set up a wall drywall wood so on. (the meat Target) all kinds of tests.

[@drewishaf]

15:14 Maybe this isn't specifically what is being discussed, but the problem I've experienced with 22lr (or taken advantage of because it was fun and hilarious) was using 22lr rounds as targets for a BB gun. Or if you take a live 22lr round and throw it at something to where the rim hits first, it can actually ignite the Armstrong mixture used as the primer material. You can get 22lr rounds to discharge relatively easily without even having a firearm.

[@nolangeorge9374]

I believe the bird shot as first round in shotguns came from the idea of a warning shot. What people have to realize in a self defense scenario, you don’t want to warn anyone. If your in a situation where your life is on the line, you need the threat to be stopped as quickly as possible.

The golden gun was originally a single action army in .45 long colt in the book. They changed it to a custom 4.5 mm that Scaramanga could assemble out of a lighter, cigarette case, pen and cuff link. The movie makes a reference to the book when bond lands on Scaramanga's Island. Scaramanga shot the cork out of a champagne bottle to show off.

[@docgiggs]

Myth 7 explained better: The AR10 was designed first and never adopted. The AR15 was designed after as a scaled down version of the AR10, but was actually the real M16 as it had selective fire when it was designed by Arma-Lite. Colt bought Arma-Lite and their designs later. Colt reintroduced the AR15 as the M16 to the military with the selective fire and was accepted. They made a civilian only version that was semi automatic and called it AR15. So the "originally" named AR15 was designed for the military but that actually is the M16. The civilian AR15 was never designed for the military. The original AR15, with selective fire, was never presented to any military before the design and company was sold to Colt. Myth 5 explained better: The .22Lr has been known to lack the energy needed to actually pierce through the thickest part of the skull of an adult human. Which has caused the round to deflect off the skull, but not have enough energy to bounce straight out. Depending upon the angle, the round can actually slide through the skin around the curvature of the skull. This is certainly not a common occurrence. The 22lr certainly is not elastic and does not have the energy to bounce around in the body. In fact, the round is made up of so little material and fragments fairly easily because of it. As far as 22 being more lethal, that is true in a strange statistical sense. It is used far more often and is easier to control for people that are recoil shy. As such, people tend to train with it more and are more accurate with it. It isn't because the round does more damage, but what I explained before. Myth 3 explained better: people use birdshot because they really don't want to kill people. The reason people like loading the first shot with birdshot first is because they hope that the less than lethal sting causes the person to run. There is a valid argument for this although I don't subscribe to that idea personally.

One of the things I've heard a few times is "AR-15s shoot ten rounds at once."

Yeah I use to believe the .22 “bounced” because my uncle got shot with a .22 pistol when I was a kid. It yawed, hit his rib, “bounced” off his rib, and exited out his side. It did quite a bit of damage, but he lived thankfully. He told me a .22 will “bounce” like that because it doesn’t have the ass behind it to punch straight through bone and tissue a lot a times. It can I’m not saying it can’t punch straight through, but it can ricochet off bone and have its path redirected. It’s not just bouncing around like a ping pong ball though.

DISCIPLINE AND RESPECT

[@Gottaculat]

I live in an apartment, so I keep 12ga BB (goose load) shot in my Mosdberg 500 shotgun. I figure that's a lot better than #7 1/2 (what most people mean when saying, "birdshot"), but still not as likely to over penitrate as buckshot. Then again, if I'm reaching for a gun at home, it's gonna be my AR-15 loaded with hollowpoints, not my shotgun. I'm way more proficient with my AR than my 500. Don't get me wrong, I love my Mossy 500, but it's also setup for upland fowl hunting, with a big ol' 28" barrel, so not ideal for navigating in CQB.

[@kennethhummel4409]

A older used .22 rifle or handgun that has been dry fired a lot can build up a divot on the rim of the barrel. That may accidentally lead to a slam type misfire, kind of like some sub machine guns that were designed to slam fire. It’s uncommon as a retired gunsmith I’ve seen that malfunction exactly twice during 30 years of full and part time work.

[@Michael-rg7mx]

The original thought was... If you shoot and kill an enemy, you take one off the line. If you wound an enemy with a small rifle round, it will take a couple of guys to carry him back for aid. So you can take 3 guys off of the line. Stoner ran with that. The smallest rifle round was the .222 but it wouldn't feed well. He liked the .22 bullet but wanted it to feed well and have high velocity. So he designed the .223. The AR15 came from that.

[@CashewBestofNuts]

Since .22 short calibers won't break ribs all the time, it sometimes will cause strange wound tracks. That is partly because of the cartilage in the ribcage, partly the power behind the round and a 1in a 1000 circumstance that started this myth. Same as .25 won't penetrate a skull myth, it might have happened once and the load and all the other circumstances that are variable weren't taken into account.

[@ronniepeoples6737]

Hoplophobia meaning - fear of weapons - guns

[@male272]

Re: .22 Short with suppression was used in a few political assassinations in the Eastern Bloc in public and aboard trains. The barrel was aimed at the base of the back of the neck at a 45 degree angle, and its effect was to 'bounce around' in the skull, but rationale was that it would not leave the body, effecting an easier escape from the scenario for the assassin, and the assumption the victim had fallen asleep. I was told this by two friends of mine who do not know each other, and ironically are on 'opposite teams' during their experiences...Serbian and Albanian. Take that as you will.
