Your vehicle description made me LOL.

I agree with you, and MaxMax on the performance characteristics of the .22, it's many variations and it's ability to be lethal at a minimal distance.

But, really, the 22LR is not a sniper round, nor is that rifle a sniper rifle set up, in the sense of what the story is attempting to convey, agreed? The sensationalism of the article [and story] are buffered by the admission in later paragraphs that the caliber selection is more of an afterthought of setting up a mobile rig with a port to take pop shots at.... whatever.

That set up, with that caliber is a critter-gitter, at best. So, the emphasis of my original statement, that this is a seriesly (sp) all-around odd story was my intent.

So, no argument with either of you, just FRiendly FReeper conversing and please ping me if any new info comes up. And, i will do the same, if you'd like?

I'm going to set some Google alerts to try to follow it. INBN

No argument whatsoever - I try to take advantage of the opportunities to put some levity into the discussions to keep from getting depressed over the political issues that are destroying us. The ping offer sounds good.

I have no knowledge of how the setup would work on Humans, but on rabbits it's really effective.
If I miss a head shot the Rabbits just stand there wondering what that bug was that
singed their whiskers. .22LR makes them scatter because of the sonics of the bullet.

It's still a fun way to shoot the AR, and inexpensive for plinking.
