Since the mid-70s, I've used .22LR, for self defense, NOT as as an expense issue, but for accuracy, dependability, and (truth be told), stopping power (and believe me, proficiency IS a factor, IF you rely on .22LR exclusively). CCI Stingers (hyper velocity hollow points) are a VERY practical choice (personal opinion) for my Ruger six inch, as is my old Iver-Johnson, also an excellent weapon for the use of shot shells. All this is of course, personal preference, but preference born of experience.

Interior walls usually don’t have insulation. So worst case scenario is inside your home without hitting other things along the way it could travel 5 rooms(including closets) over. Possibly being lethal or damaging in the 4th room but likely not in the 5th. Add in insulation or an exterior wall (brick) is would likely travel less. Still not a low power enough to forget about what’s behind your target in a self defense situation.

@Randall Moore self defense is up close and personal, otherwise its very hard to prove. In that context accuracy is irrelevant, you'll hit your target. That's why pocket pistols are common, your short single stack 9's or 45's, its not because they are accurate, because they aren't. But rather because its easily concealed and will provide a means of self defense. Do you really prefer accuracy over stopping power? I prefer the threat to seize immediately. But to each their own.

[@scottarivett496]

Definitely surprised at how the pistol rounds from a slide action auto wearing a suppressor were that close in penetration to the lever action rifle rounds

[@ShyaMiss]

Chances are good that the barrel is actually too long on the lever gun. If your powder charge is not enough to continue to accelerate the projectile for the length of the barrel, then it can actually begin to lose velocity before it clears the muzzle. As we all know, a 22lr is not dealing with an abundance of case volume for a powder charge.

[@spartanx169x]

Lots of people don't realize, suppressors actually increase the velocity of the round.

[@ShyaMiss]

@John Smith optimal length is going to vary by powder charge and bullet weight. You need a long enough burn to continue accelerating the bullet until it is going to clear the muzzle, which of course will change based on just how long the barrel is. This is also the reason we use slower powder to reload with heavy bullets, and faster burning powder for lighter weight bullets.

[@geckster109]

Sometimes higher velocity = less penetration. Especially in HP ammo like the Stinger and Velocitor. I think we would have seen greater penetration out of the rifle with round nose projectiles.

[@ShyaMiss]

@@geckster109 for this to happen. One of two things must be true. Either the hollow point bullets are being driven too slow from a pistol, not allowing the bullet to expand, and thus over penetrating, usually not a concern for such light weight bullets. Or, they have to be moving so fast from the rifle length barrel, that they are experiencing bullet failure due to excessive velocity. Neither case is likely here.

Actually this test should be done with at least 7ft spacing between every pair of drywall (w/ 2x4 spacer). This would simulate flying through one wall, crossing the room and exiting the other wall. More accurate test IMHO.

[@zososldier]

Velocity drop isn't that much over such a short distance. 7 feet between each of these would only end up at around 40-50 total feet. You might get 1 less dry wall board at that distance. They would still go from one side of your house to the other.

[@lusmythe4898]

This would show what would happen if we are shooting within a home where you may have a few bedrooms next to each other and possibly a common area next to that or in an office setting. What I want to ascertain is what the bullet would do in that potential scenario where other members of a family or colleagues in a work environment could be affected.

In standard framing the 2X4 studs are 16” on center. That means that approxamently 84 percent of the wall is just two layers of sheetrock. Normaly there is no insulation used on interior walls. I doubt that 3-1/2” of fiberglass insulation would have much effect on the bullit.

Ok. Thanks for doing this! Oh dear, the .22LR is showing more and more why I chose it, and I am ever more comfortable as a disabled older guy to have it for both fun target shooting and for home defense! So how big is that bullet diameter again? Oh, right, almost 1/4 of an inch. So imagine some crazy nutter comes at you with an 8 inch long Philips screw-driver, the shaft of which is about a 1/4 inch in diameter. Get it? So that crazy dude stabs you in the chest twice. You think you'd like that? I know I would not! The hole a .22LR leaves is actually bigger, thanks to the disruptive effect of the shockwave. So a double tap from a 22 pistol is like getting stabbed with that screw driver twice. YIKES! Good luck trying to survive that one!

Yea. This is a good test, thank you. I did a test of using a CCI "Quiet" .22 LR shooting from a Taurus 94 revolver. Into a bucket of sand with two newspaper under bucket of 4 inchs of sand in my shed with plywood floor. I covered muzzle with cloth and point Blank shot one round. It basically went clear through everything including floor, i never found the bullet itself. I was trying to see what mushroom effect occured at point blank range, . After removing bucket, newspapers, and a small hole visible, it was long gone and more powerful than i thought, being 790 fps. For the quiets CCI ammo.

you forgot the most important variable in that is the distance between the actual walls which it varies from 10 to 20 foot to try to set up only three walls with a distance of 10-20 foot from each other and you'll come out with very different results.

Some interior walls will have insulation and you'll have beams and chords as well.

Ok so I see a lot of love for 22. It's far from ideal for home defense however. If you really wanna put someone down without relying on perfect shot placement, you need more energy.

[@colmhain]

I've read a lot of responses where people mention insulation in the walls. Most interior walls ARE NOT insulated, except bathrooms for noise reduction. If all interior walls in a house with a central climate control unit were insulated, then there would be significant variance in temperature from room to room. That's why most walls aren't insulated. Also, pipes and wiring in a house are quite sparse. You would have to aim specifically at either to even hit them, so no pipe and wire is a good analog given the low chances of hitting them. Bear in mind, this was a worst case scenario, meaning, "How many interior walls can a .22 go through if you missed your target in your house and DIDN'T hit pies and insulation?" the most likely event by far.

Agreed totally. When the bullet has room to start tumbling, you'll see way less penetration. In real life with walls 10 to 12 feet apart, bet they don't go through 11 layers of drywall

Absolutely. I was saying the exact same thing.

[@KantoCacho]

True. It would probably only go through 1 or 2 walls depending on how far apart they are and stick into the third. Once they're proper residential walls with insulation, compound mud and paint that is. Hell it might hit a 2x4 100% at certain angles.

Just gonna post in advance for anyone making the routine "but you used a silencer" argument... the one we see on every penetration and body armor test on youtube. Ugh.

I'm betting 80%+ of the people in the comments know this, but hey, just for those other guys.

[@YCCCm7]

Nick condo Well, on the plus side, for all the video game idiots interested enough to crawl their way over to Plink and other IRL firearms youtubers, they'll learn a lot about actual firearms fast and rough, likely thanks to the interest brought on by video games.

[@fisoxlt]

+YCCCm7 Very true. I just watched an un-suppressed 338 Lapua fail to reach a target at just under 1500 yards because it dropped to subsonic speeds and destabilized, but once the suppressor was put on, it could reach it consistently. Tried to take it out another 100 yards and it became unstable again due to dropping too much speed. The suppressor gave it just enough of a boost to make 1500 yards accurately. Very impressive.

A 22LR will travel through enough wall to kill someone in the next room and possibly more that one wall. Actually, any centerfire bullet will do much the same. Don't even consider an assault rifle! There have been, historically, many people wounded and killed from a shot fired through wooden and stucco outer walls as well. The truth is that the best gun for home defense is a riot gun or another shotgun. One that will not penetrate walls. Besides, shooting accuracy is less critical AND just the sound of wracking a riot gun will make the average burglar or anyone else will piss themselves and leave post-haste. This was the advice given to me in the 1970s when a kidnapper tried to grab my 5 daughters after an attempted kidnapping through a bedroom window. The cop was a detective lieutenant that I had known for some time. The next day I bought an Ithica Featherlight. I actually did have the need, some time later, to rack that shotgun. Very effectively, I will add.

[@ffjsb]

You do realize that you can get shot rounds for pistols don't you??? Even .22 cal. And depending on what round you have in a shotgun, you could easily penetrate several walls. Double ought buckshot is .33 caliber, and there are nine in a shell, compared to 1-.22 cal long rifle. There's WAY more to consider than caliber. I'm not going to wait to rack a shell in a gun, there's already going to be a round in the chamber. All they're going to hear in their last few seconds is a muzzle blast. That info from the 70's is pure BS. FACT is, it's much easier to use a hand gun, for a multitude of reasons.

[@ronlheureux7623]

ffjsb I sincerely doubt that a.22round with shot pellets will stop anyone. Show me a person that doesn’t freeze when they hear a riot gun wracked. Not the same sound as mist shotguns. Ever own one? Thank you for tour opinion, but my opinion is based on experience and a police lieutenants advice. Stay well in this trying and difficult time.

[@ffjsb]

@@ronlheureux7623 First off it's RACKED, not "wracked". Secondly, let me know if you have a deployment to Iraq. You information is at least 50 years old, and I'm not going to waste time chambering a round, my weapons already have a round in the chamber ready to go. No, .22 cal shot probably won't stop someone, but it is available. There are many weapons that are way easier to handle than a shotgun. Your claim that a shotgun is the best home defense weapon is simply NOT TRUE. There are a TON of variables that have to be considered. They CAN be a good weapon, but you simply CANNOT say it's the best. I don't care what that police Lt. told you.

Very impressive had no idea the 22 lr could penetrate like that

[@beebob1279]

Learned about this years ago at one of my NRA gun safety classes. IF an intruder is in your house you have to figure on your body position and the line of fire at the intruder. Where will the bullet go after exiting the person (if you hit them)? Kids room, or where? With the adrenaline pumping I'm sure it's easier said than done. The second thing discussed about the .22 specifically was the little damage they do. the person shot is so pumped with adrenaline that they may not feel it or even know they were hit until later, which means they continue their attack. Think of a deer running 200 yards after a bullet of a 30-30 or 30-06 through it's lungs. My neighbor tracked a deer over two miles and after gutting it found it hit vitals. I'll stick with the 00 Buck Shot or my 9mm pistol. It comes down to whatever I can get my hands on is what I'm using. Practice, practice, practice. Don't forget to know your firearms and not just own one. Go to a range and use the thing. Don't rely on it magically working if you've never handled it. I've got a relative who bought two Glocks and they are in the safe upstairs. Never out of the box. Never shot at the range. Can you imagine him fumbling around trying to load and prepare to fire something he never shot? Oh boy TAKE NRA FIREARMS SAFETY TRAINING. Last thing to say as I rant on and on. How skinny are this guys family? Four inches between walls? What about studs in the walls, wiring, the insulation to the outside wall, plywood as sheathing, siding whether wood, aluminum, or vinyl? But we should get the picture. know what your doing.

[@akallio9000]

The distance from the gun to the target makes a huge difference. I had a 1948 International pickup truck when I was a kid, and it'd already been target practice for quite a few gunners. I tried shooting .22 LR's (Sears, made by Winchester) from a Ruger 10/22 rifle at this 10 (?) gauge sheet metal on the bed sides. At 50 feet from the target, the bullet dented the metal, but didn't make it through. At 30 feet or so, part of the bullet made it through, but the rest was left as a starfish type pattern stuck to the perimeter of the hole. At 5 feet away, the entire bullet made it through. That's some serious velocity drop from a relatively small amount of air.
