CCI 22LR Shotshell VS Federal 22LR Bird Shot #12 .22 LR Ammo Test & Review

This video compares the least powerful Aguila Super Colibri .22 LR round against the most powerful CCI Stinger. Using a suppressed pistol and a pumpkin as a target, the test visually demonstrates the significant difference in terminal ballistics. The Super Colibri creates minimal damage, while the Stinger shows a dramatically larger exit wound, highlighting the power disparity between different .22 LR loads.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various .22 LR rounds through a car door. While some lower-velocity rounds failed to penetrate fully, high-velocity options like the CCI 'Stangers' demonstrated significant penetration, embedding into the interior door panel. The test highlights how ammunition choice and velocity impact terminal ballistics against vehicle barriers.

This test compares subsonic and supersonic .22LR ammunition lethality using Clear Ballistics gelatin and a cloth barrier. Results indicate that heavy subsonic FMJ rounds can penetrate beyond the FBI's 12-inch minimum, challenging the assumption that they are less deadly than supersonic hollow points. The supersonic hollow point demonstrated expected mushrooming.

This video explores the practicality and effectiveness of using .22LR subsonic ammunition. It likely delves into the advantages and disadvantages, potentially comparing it to standard .22LR rounds. Discussions might cover its suitability for specific applications like target shooting, pest control, or potentially suppressed firearm use where reduced noise is a factor. The content aims to help viewers decide if .22LR subsonic is a worthwhile choice for their needs.

This review introduces the Ruger Carbon X-22, a modern iteration of the classic 10/22 platform. The rifle features a lightweight carbon fiber barrel, an M-LOK handguard for accessory customization, and a modular stock. It's presented as a versatile option for beginners, training, hunting, and plinking, benefiting from the extensive 10/22 aftermarket.

This video showcases a suppressed Ruger 10/22 rifle, emphasizing its effectiveness for quiet shooting applications like plinking and pest control. It highlights the use of specialized CCI Quiet-22 ammunition (45gr, 835 FPS) for reduced noise signature. The demonstration includes live fire at a steel target, illustrating the low sound profile and accuracy achievable with this setup.

This video compares the terminal performance of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The test demonstrates a significant increase in destructive power from .22LR up to .45 ACP, with the larger calibers causing more explosive expansion and fragmentation. Specific hollow-point ammunition from Speer, Aguila, and Underwood was used, highlighting the importance of bullet construction for terminal ballistics.

Buckeye Ballistics conducted a comparative test of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating significant firearm and ballistics knowledge, emphasized extreme safety precautions due to ricochet risks. The test revealed that while larger calibers showed more damage, none could fully penetrate the concrete block's second wall, suggesting limitations for self-defense scenarios against hardened barriers.

This Taurus TX22 review details its performance with various .22 LR ammunition. While initially reliable with CCI Mini-Mags and cycling standard velocity rounds well, it encountered malfunctions with sub-sonic and high-velocity loads. A catastrophic failure occurred due to a squib load followed by a second shot, resulting in a bulged barrel and damaged magazine.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR rimfire cartridges using cantaloupes as targets. The .22LR showed a clean pass-through with minor damage, the .22WMR caused an explosive front-face disintegration, and the .17HMR, despite its speed, disintegrated internally with no exit. The test highlights how different rimfire rounds perform on soft tissue simulants.
