[QUOTE="isaaccarlson, post: 2474101, member: 33850"] They are definitely not harmless at 500 yards. One hit in a non vital area might not kill you, but a vital/head shot sure can. People poo-poo the 22lr, but it is a proven killer. I have a Winchester 74 and a pamphlet showing how to make a ground pit blind, and other details for a sniper to use in war with a suppressor attached. I have looked into it and the military used a few of these rifles for silent removal and harassment of enemy forces. They were very effective and I have heard of them being used at 200+yards with amazing accuracy. Mine will hit golf balls regularly at 200 yards, and I am sure it would do nearly as well at extended ranges. The men who used them are all but gone, but the ones who talked about it said they had never seen the enemy so confused, scared, and looking desperately for some place to hide, as when they were fired on by a silenced 22lr. They could not tell where it was coming from or how far away. It created pure panic and fear. [/QUOTE]
