[@savageater57]

I know of a man who was shot in the forehead with a .22 short from a small revolver in a bar by a woman whom he had assaulted , he survived with a small scar and headach for a few days but was very careful how he behaved around that woman afterwards.

[@garyK.45ACP]

Seems like a candidate for the "Know your limitations" test. 😜 Anything that makes holes in you that you weren't born with will hurt like hell and probably make someone change their mind about wanting whatever it was they wanted from you. Thanks, Buffalo👍

[@GunSam]

Haha, cool. I remember being a kid and messing with my .22 rifle in the barn. If my parents only knew my experiments lol. I do know that the hay loft floor won't stop a .22 LR but will stop a .22 short 😆

[@exothermal.sprocket]

So long as it was the floor and not the roof. 😁

[@jamesmarkov9570]

Brings up the question how do other calibers do against decks of cards?

[@kenycharles8600]

I have always liked those little revolvers.

[@PatRMG]

Shoot a jar of pickled beets. Actually, no, send them to me and shoot something else!

[@kb2cyf]

I think it would be useful to create a baseline. Show what the same bullet does from a rifle and maybe a 4-in revolver or pistol then compare it to the mini for each type of Target you use.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

That might make a good stand alone video. In this series I am going to stay focused on the little NAA 22s. I might circle back and do a "how barrel length effects the .22 short" video later on though so thanks for the suggestion.

@@buffalosoutdoors try shooting a high velocity solid point .22 SHORT rimfire round through a deck of cards to see if it will go through more cards than the hollow point rounds.

That would hurt and in the belly could cause a nasty wound. Don’t underestimate the mighty .22 Short!

[@joshkelley1171]

How about a block or two of Velveeta cheese? It should keep the wound channel pretty good when cut in half.

[@Dwayne7834]

Good series. It’s going to be a interesting. I never thought the recoil for the 22 short. But it’s little pistol. Thanks for the video.

[@Mopartoolman]

I have one of those too, and you have to be REAL careful where your fingers are when you shoot it! My fat fingers tend to overlap the cylinder gap, especially the knuckle on my trigger finger. It's just a .22 Short, but it still hurts!!!

[@patrickd2013]

Technically, it was a short, short video!

[@TheGsellers]

Thanks for making me spend money, again. Always wanted one, now I need two. Too much fun!

[@terryschiller2625]

What a fun little gun buffalo. The series should be cool. 🤠 How about a bar of soap

[@PetuniaIii-pd1ww]

We own a .22lr model, and someday I'd like to get another NAA...the .22wmr models make more sense, but the .22 short just looks so good...we have 400-500 rounds of shorts on hand, hmm...

[@georgegeeseman6652]

We used to use cheap bars of soap to test 22 hollowpoints. Poor man's ballistic gel.thanks for the test.

[@scubaguy007]

This are fun guns. I look forward to the series. I recommend you get a group of friends together and set a little green army man up 10 feet away and see who can hit it first. It sounds easy to those who have never shot one of these, but is a lot harder than it looks.

[@stanpotter7764]

Buffalo! I have one of these and I velocity tested a couple years ago. Here is the average velocity/energy of 5 shot strings in order of power: CCI CB Shorts, 29 Grain Solid: 401fps / 10.4 ft/lbs Winchester Solids, 29 Grain Solid 580 ftps / 21.7 ft/lbs Remington 29 Grain Solid: 684 fps / 30.1 ft/lbs CCI 27 Grain HP: 713 fps / 30.5 ft/lbs Older (maybe early 2000s) Remington 29 Grain Solid: 733 fps / 34.6 ft/lbs Interesting was that the older Remington ammo was quite a bit more powerful than the newer stuff. They are the exact same 29 grain solids, but the box art is slightly different between the older and newer stuff. Also, I shot the older Remingtons at a 2x4, and about half went all the way through (barely), with the other half very close to going through, sometimes bulging the back of the board. And keep in mind, the most powerful break barrel pellet guns on the market right now make 32 to 34 ft/lbs, so it's definitely no joke. Anything that can penetrate a 2x4 would probably do a number on a skull. If you get a chance, shoot some 2x4s with the Remington solids - you might be surprised, especially if you find some of the older stuff. I love that you are doing videos on this cool little revolver! Best gun channel out there!

[@cheryltysver4819]

Excellent comment. Wish that they were all this informative! What chronograph were you using and have you tested any .22 Magnum FMJ's in similar revolvers?

[@kipwinters2382]

Fun video! My suggestion is a dozen eggs lined up, either raw or boiled. Maybe both.

[@LongBinh70]

Ah! The old eight-of-hearts shot.

[@cryswimmer]

I love the mini revolvers and looking forward to the series.

[@ehayes5217]

That was very interesting, especially since I have an NAA .22 WMR; but I've NEVER seen any vid featuring a .22 short, so thanx for posting!🇺🇸

[@alorr5721]

Guess I know what I'm buying this weekend.

[@starkparker16]

I hope your wrists heal soon and that your recovery goes smoothly.

[@pamartin]

Funny comment on the recoil 😄. With your grip I worried about blow from the cylinder. With that small handle I thought it might pop out of your hands! Looking forward to this series!

[@brittlanders351]

Watching all the other videos up till Spam, would be interesting to see how bullet proof a deck of cards is! I’m wondering if 22lr even out of a 6” barrel could go through

[@christopherch7307]

DTSA ! DOUBLE TAP SQUIRREL ASSASSIN. That will seriously squash any attitude a gray squirrel might throw at you. 👍🐿👍

[@SalvagedCowboy]

I was surprised to see the bullet expanded. Impressive!

[@noahmercy-mann4323]

Subscribed, because apparently great minds think alike...I recently got a NAA Mini in 22LR with the 1 1/8" barrel and have a series of tests and comparisons planned. I'm actually surprised at the results you got in this test (both expansion and penetration). And these little things are more accurate than most folks credit...I've already won a couple lunches from guys who didn't think it was accurate at anything past "across the table" distances LOL. Try full size silhouette targets- I use B27s- at 50 yards...or more. you might be amazed...

[@lext4374]

Great idea. Looking forward to this series. A Man Has Got To Know His Limitations?

[@alancranford3398]

Thank you for a practical demonstration of small caliber, low-velocity penetration. Reminded me of the 14 October 1912 assassination attempt on Theodore Roosevelt.

[@nchunter8918]

I'm sure you have tons of ideas for targets, maybe the sole of a work boot? A cheap butane lighter? A metal mailbox?

[@SaintBrianTheGodless]

Thanks, good video! I have the next one up, the NAA22LR, and i love that little gun. I've gotten very good with it. It's all about being conscious of your wrist angle. And a rubber hogue grip. I have a mini range in my basement where I use Aguila Colibri rounds and a home made backstop, very easy to make, and real practice. Nobody outside can hear it. Also own the larger NAA Ranger 2 breaktop, and a Heritage 5 inch revolver, all of which I use downstairs with my son. Good times.

[@WheelgunsOnWheels]

So cool!!! Excellent weekly theme man. Ballistic gel would be neat although it’s not a typical household item.

[@Dswagger-D]

I'd love to see this with some CB shorts, looks like a awesome series.

[@bigolemike33]

I got that little feller in the 22 lr and love it for what it is and that's not much but it beats a stick or rock.. I would suggest a velocity check video.

[@bruceliggett8036]

That's so cool, I've got one in 22lr. A can of diced tomatoes might make a good target. Great video Sir!

[@tedh7543]

Hey Buffalo, this is already a fun series! You got me curious on what my NAA Antivenom 22 magnum would due to a deck of cards. I carry it sometimes as a backup and believe it could come in handy in a pinch but hope & pray it never does. You could try tennis balls, racket balls, phone book, the ever-popular water-filled milk jug, or maybe a can of spam.

[@Halfmilesniper]

That was fun...thought you were going to try splitting a card. That would be a feat I think. Great stuff Buffalo.

[@1982rrose]

It was a disapointing majic trick, you didn't tell us before you shot where it would stop. I want my money back. I'm really enjoying this series, who would of thought? Buffalo would.

As he's walking to the restaurant 3 indigenous persons, pulled a screwdriver and told thr elderly man, "give it al up!" Reaching in his pocket, he pulled a NAA .22short....the young man, was DRT and the other 2, ran away. 🏃‍♂️ The end

With Halloween coming up you could see how many pumpkins it can shoot through.

[@7come11two]

I have one of these in .22 LR and I love it. It's loads of fun. I shoot mostly shorts in it, just because they're fun. A deck of cards is pretty tough. I shot a deck with my S&W Model 36 with 2" barrel, using Remington UMC .38 Special 158 grain lead round nose ammunition. The bullet made it about halfway through the deck of cards and flattened out pretty well. I shot another deck with a 9mm 115 gr Speer Gold Dot HP from my Beretta 92FS. It zipped right through the deck.

[@JimYeats]

3:05 @Taofledermaus Definitely needs the clamp or else its not a valid test. Right? Right!?

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Interesting results. Thanks

[@franks.2544]

That'll soften them up for the fistfight after you shoot them.

[@2326TX]

House hold items as targets for that little. 22 short.,,,, A table spoon, TV guide, loaf of bread, bean can, house shoe, Tonka truck, barbie doll, a Lego brick wall, or even a block of Velveeta cheese.

[@PP-uv1kw]

yes it only went THRU ~10 cards BUT it cracked about half the deck... YOU are NOT as solid as a deck of cards.... excellent close up & personal DEFENSE .

[@randyrush9856]

Yep, I didn't like the way he did that either. That's going to lead to some inaccuracies in comparisons between different rounds. Some of the other channels use better methods, like "Who Tee Who" channel. He does it with paper plates. Then he counts every plate with even the smallest perforation through it until he gets to the one with only a indentation in it.

[@ardmoremooney4222]

As crazy as this may sound, I would like to see ballistics gell and chronograph tests and from a longer barrel as well.

[@freedomwon2004]

Great video and cool little revolver!! How about shooting some apples 🍎 🤔? It's fall,apples are fun to make "cider" out of!!! Great excuse to shoot this mini revolver. I'm thinking about buying one in .22lr. With the folding grip/holster. Good for out running 🏃‍♂️

Long distance trick shot compilation coming up

[@Johnny-jr2lq]

That’s interesting the box says 1105 fps that’s the same as regular 22lr. I have a opportunity to pick up a savage 1911 boys rifle. It’s chambered in 22 short and it will hold a whole bunch of those shorts. Only issue I have is it’s a very old rifle and it’s missing 1 part It’s a spring that is kinda important. But to get the same velocity out of a short opens up a lot of options.

[@stanpotter7764]

Yeah but the bullet is about 25% lighter than a standard .22lr

[@PetuniaIii-pd1ww]

Fast .22 shorts have cooked a lot of rabbits and squirrels...

[@mrhalfstep]

I just remembered that I've seen a belt buckle that holds this particular NAA revolver. Also it comes in a black powder edition, or at least it used to. Cool little gun, like you said.

[@YellowHammer26]

👍👍Thanks Buffalo maybe a clay block, water jug or how many layers of clothing it would go through. Hope all is going well for you. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had my prostate removed about a week ago. I’m doing well and appreciate the video to help pass the time away. I’m down for 4/6 weeks so I look forward to all videos.

Iam not to surprised those cards stacked tight together is hard as concrete.I didn’t think it would pass all way through if it didn’t expand ,it might the 22 has surprised me many times what it will do. Good video as usual 👍

[@silverback3926]

I stopped carring because it would slip out of safety notch in my pocket. Figured if i was going to use holster i might as well carry 8 rounds in lcr. Try ice block, water jug, block of wood , ekectronic device or old kitchen appliance. Shoe or boot etc.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

I understand. I've honestly never carried this one, I got it in 22 short because I like the novelty of it being so small. I made up this series to give me an excuse to shoot it! Great suggestions! Thank you!

Great little revolver. The .22 Short looks better than the LR version. If not for our limitation laws, I'd shure as heck buy one for no other reason than just because😁 Target idea🤔 Hmm. More like a target challenge. Take that lil' shooter, and go shoot us a squirrel or something. The World's first NAA .22Short hunting video😁

[@turdferguson5300]

This will be a fun series. The most hated fruit of any gun enthusiast is the watermelon so that might make a good target. Get a long one and try shooting it in the end to see if it makes it out the other end. I don't know what there is about a .22 but I like em.

[@meanderingmarley3910]

A Texas Heart Shot on a watermelon...awesome idea!

[@billdye3530]

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Suggested targets: Common porcelain coffee mug Porcelain dinner plates Pack of cheap picnic paper plates Small bag of brown sugar, or other thinner package of kitchen ingredients Cheap school back pack A few cans of soda lined up A thin book or a couple of magazines How about an old leather boot (don't shoot yourself in the foot with a mouse gun) Belt buckle Would a chewin' tubaccah container in someone's chest pocket stop it? (please kids and adults, don't use chewing tobacco) How many plastic credit cards does it take to stop it? A video case (with DVD inside) Pieces of glass pane (similar to windows), how many? I think I'd have just as much fun with an LCR 1.88" barrel just poppin 22 shorts.

[@joeyhardin1288]

Great video. Looking forward to the series. How about Cauliflower, Watermelon, Pound of Burger. A Baseball, Softball, Pop can. Distance shooting, 3, 5, and 7 yards (Sunny day and a Rainy day). God Bless and stay safe.

Remember folks it's only 22 short here . 22 lr or Magnum will do wonders !

Good to know I can carry 11 cards in my pocket and be safe. How about some other commonly carried items; metal water bottle, old cell phone, folded up handkerchief, a typical man’s wallet, a Jean jacket with a heavy undershirt or even a McDonald’s Big Mac!

[@savage22bolt32]

[@Doorgunner50]

Since Thanksgiving is just around the corner I think testing on a thawed turkey would be appropriate.

[@frankbrowning328]

WOW! I'm really surprised it only went through 10 cards. I guess it's because it contacted a hard but also flexible target that was able to absorb the shock but still expand the bullet. I wish NAA would chamber this gun in 25ACP. The round is semi-rimmed so it can and has been used in revolvers. 25 ACP is centerfire so a more reliable priming system. The 22LR model could be upsized slightly in the cylinder to accomodate the 32 ACP maybe in a 4 round cylinder. Again the 32 ACP is semi-rimmed and can be fired in a revolver. The is would offer not only better primer reliability but also increase power over the 22 LR

[@professorpewpuew]

I used the same round and same gun to clear seven inches of gel and denim. Goes to show that these smaller and lighter rounds can be easily stopped by hard objects. What about an old cell phone?

[@buffalosoutdoors]

I shot a block with this round and got similar results as what you stated. I am going to shoot a gel block on video for the finale of this series. Great suggestion, I think I have an old phone too.

[@kafferhond435]

Funny that it would penetrate a out the same as a .410 foster slug in gel😁😮 'Strue. This channel once did a .410 test. If my failing memory serves me right, the 410 slug also only made it 6 or 7 inches into clear ballistics gel.

Buffalo, this is a great idea! Love that little revolver, been thinking of getting one since your first video on it. Shoot a can of dog food w a hallow tip, that might have a good reaction. 22lr does it good. I always say, your channel is my favorite, thank you for your content! God Bless! 🙏 🙏 🙏
