This video advises against using a .22 Long Rifle for self-defense, despite its utility for training.

However, for actual self-defense, calibers like 9mm are recommended for their superior stopping power and reliability.

This video provides expert advice on stockpiling ammunition for potential SHTF scenarios, focusing on specific calibers and bullet types. It emphasizes quality and reliability over cost, detailing the advantages of certain brands and weights for different applications.

This video demonstrates that while it is physically possible to fire a .22 Long Rifle cartridge from a .22 Magnum firearm (or a .17 HMR from a .22 Magnum), it is strongly advised against due to potential safety risks and firearm damage.

The presenter uses a multi-caliber revolver with interchangeable cylinders to illustrate these points, emphasizing the difference between 'can' and 'should'.
