This video focuses on a speed test of CCI Quiet-22 subsonic ammunition, specifically measuring the velocity of the .22 caliber bullet. The test is conducted using both a short barrel and a long barrel firearm to observe the differences in projectile speed. The title "Shooting spicy BBs - the slowest .22 bullet" highlights the unique nature of this ammunition, while the description confirms the focus on ballistics and ammunition testing with the stated velocity of 710 fps. The use of hashtags like #ballistics, #ammotest, and #gunasmr indicates an interest in the technical aspects of firearms and a potentially engaging viewing experience.
This video demonstrates shooting the Ruger 22 Charger pistol in a hip-firing technique, utilizing a laser sight for aiming. The demonstration features a Gemtech GMT Halo silencer and CCI Quiet-22 .22lr ammunition, highlighting a suppressed, low-noise shooting experience.
This video showcases a shooting session featuring the Ruger 22 Charger paired with a Gemtech GMT Halo silencer and CCI Quiet-22 ammunition. The primary focus is on engaging a Texas Star spinning target, highlighting the performance of the firearm, suppressor, and ammunition combination in a dynamic shooting scenario. The content provides a practical demonstration of these components in action.
This video demonstrates the destructive power of various firearms against cow bones, serving as an unconventional target practice. The presenter, from Autumn's Armory, showcases how different calibers and firearms, ranging from a Can Cannon to .22LR and 9mm, impact and fragment these bone targets. The experiment highlights the effectiveness of even smaller rounds like .22LR in significantly damaging bone structures, with larger calibers causing complete disintegration.
This review of the Ruger American Rimfire highlights its surprising accuracy for its price point, with the reviewer achieving sub-inch groups at 50 yards with CCI Standard Velocity ammunition. While 100-yard performance was less impressive due to wind and potential scope adjustment needs, the rifle demonstrated excellent reliability and a pleasing trigger feel.
