10/22 sniper

Probably the most popular caliber firearm in most of the world. Many of us have more than one. They also are very collectible and still cheap to shoot.

10/22 sniper

Looks like in Isreal they decided to use a 22 sniper rifle as a step up from shooting non lethal rubber bullets. Then they discovered what they should have realized to begin with. A 22 isn't a toy and can kill people just as dead as the larger war gun calibers.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, particularly when you're using a dangerous thing.
They ought to have read about French resistance fighters taking out German soldiers with single head shots with .22 rf.
It was apparently one way of getting a nice Mauser.
Self Defence is not only a Right, it is an Obligation.
