CCI Quiet Comparison to Pellet Gun and 22LR

This video provides an expert-level comparison of noise levels between airguns and suppressed .22LR firearms, conducted by a reviewer from Shooting Gear Reviews. The host uses a blind test with family judges and a log backstop to isolate muzzle blast. Key findings highlight the effectiveness of airgun-specific suppressors like the Western Airguns Anti-Venom in reducing noise to levels comparable to or quieter than suppressed .22LR rounds.

This comprehensive review of the Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite, presented by firearms expert Hickok45, details its design evolution, simplified one-button takedown, and performance with various ammunition and suppressors. The guide includes a step-by-step field stripping procedure, emphasizing safety and ease of maintenance, making it ideal for new and experienced shooters alike.

This video review focuses on the Umarex Air Ruger 10/22 Air Rifle, a licensed replica of the popular rimfire rifle. The review highlights its CO2 power source, 10-round rotary magazine, and .177 caliber pellet firing capability. It aims to capture the essence of the original 10/22, offering a fun and utilitarian shooting experience. Gun Tech Editor Richard Nance and Pro-Shooter Jim Tarr test the air rifle at the range, providing insights into its performance.

This video tests CCI Quiet-22 ammunition in semi-automatic firearms to assess its reliability and cycling capability. The presenter notes that while designed to be quieter and with reduced recoil, the primary concern is whether it can reliably cycle the action of semi-automatic .22LR firearms, which often require a certain level of power to function correctly. The test aims to determine if these rounds are a viable option for shooters seeking reduced noise and recoil without sacrificing functionality in their semi-auto platforms.

This review by Buckeye Ballistics provides a data-driven comparison of CCI Quiet-22 .22 LR ammunition against other .22 LR rounds and even a high-powered air rifle using a decibel meter. The expert demonstrates a methodical approach to testing, highlighting the significant noise reduction offered by the CCI Quiet-22 rounds, making them notably quieter than standard high-velocity options.

This video provides a visual demonstration of the Gamo .25 caliber air rifle, likely from the Swarm series. It showcases the break-barrel cocking mechanism, the Swarm magazine system, and the rifle's features like an integrated suppressor and included optic. The .25 caliber's power is highlighted through its impact on a reactive target, creating a significant explosive cloud. The demonstration is conducted in a desert range setting.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides a practical, albeit unconventional, comparison of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The expert demonstrates varying levels of terminal performance, from the .22LR's significant splitting to the .45 ACP's complete watermelon fragmentation, highlighting the differences in hydraulic shock and expansion. The test utilizes specific hollow-point ammunition, including Speer Gold Dot, Aguila Super Maximum, and Underwood XTP, showcasing their effects.

This video provides a practical, safety-conscious comparison of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, details the testing methodology and results, emphasizing the risks of ricochet. None of the tested pistol calibers fully penetrated the concrete block's second wall, suggesting their limitations for certain penetration scenarios.

This review of the Taurus TX22 .22 LR pistol details its features, including a 16+1 capacity and excellent trigger. While initial testing with CCI Mini-Mags was flawless, subsequent tests with various ammunition types revealed cycling issues and culminated in a catastrophic failure. The failure was attributed to a squib load followed by a second shot, causing a barrel bulge and ruptured casing, highlighting potential ammunition inconsistencies. The review provides a detailed look at disassembly and damage assessment.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides an experimental comparison of three popular rimfire calibers: .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR, using cantaloupes as ballistic mediums. The host, an experienced shooter, demonstrates the distinct terminal ballistics of each round, highlighting how bullet construction and velocity affect target interaction. The comparison offers practical insights into the performance differences between these rimfire cartridges on soft tissue simulants.
