Weak 22lr Vs Powerful 22lr

Published on November 3, 2025
Duration: 0:42

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.

Quick Summary

The CCI Stinger .22 LR is significantly more powerful than the Aguila Super Colibri. The Stinger, a 32gr bullet at 1640 FPS, created an exit wound estimated to be six times larger than the 20gr Super Colibri traveling at 590 FPS, demonstrating a vast difference in terminal ballistics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference in power between the Aguila Super Colibri and CCI Stinger .22 LR rounds?

The Aguila Super Colibri is a very low-power .22 LR round (20gr @ 590 FPS), creating minimal damage. In contrast, the CCI Stinger is a high-velocity round (32gr @ 1640 FPS) that produces significantly more energy and a much larger wound channel, estimated to be six times the exit hole size.

What are the key specifications for the Aguila Super Colibri .22 LR?

The Aguila Super Colibri .22 LR features a 20-grain lead bullet and travels at a relatively slow velocity of 590 feet per second (FPS). It is known for being one of the quietest and least powerful .22 LR options available.

What makes the CCI Stinger .22 LR a powerful round?

The CCI Stinger .22 LR is considered powerful due to its high velocity of 1640 FPS, achieved with a heavier 32-grain copper-plated hollow point bullet. This combination results in greater kinetic energy and significantly increased terminal performance compared to standard or subsonic .22 LR loads.

Can a suppressed pistol effectively demonstrate the power difference between .22 LR loads?

Yes, a suppressed pistol can effectively demonstrate the power difference. While suppression primarily reduces noise, the terminal ballistics are dictated by the ammunition's velocity and design. The visual impact on a target like a pumpkin clearly shows the energy difference, even with suppressed fire.
