This video compares the CCI Quiet-22 ammunition to a pellet gun and standard .22LR rounds, testing terminal performance on an apple. The CCI Quiet-22, at 710 FPS, produces minimal damage, similar to a .20 caliber pellet gun. Standard velocity .22LR rounds show significantly more energy transfer, while hollow point variants cause complete fragmentation, highlighting the difference between plinking and varmint ammunition.

Quick Summary

CCI Quiet-22 ammunition, with a 40-grain lead round nose at 710 FPS, produces noise levels comparable to a pellet gun. Its terminal performance is minimal, showing slightly more damage than a pellet gun but remaining contained.
