Looks like the first time I hung drywall. 20 holes, 4 screws.
😂😂 that would be me if I had to try to hang dry wall.
Lol. Exactly what i was thinking when watching this. I used to help my father in law with drywall during my college years. Haha
Hmmmm??? hammer holes, using screws??
Measure twice. Cut once.
@@dannybolman7739 measure twice cut three times because you missed the giant knot or chunk in the 2x4 😂

Answer: Enough to get you kicked out of your apartment building that’s for sure.
VV I worked with a Guy and he was shooting a 22 in an apartment closet im like what the heck you doing . he was like its safe im shooting the drywall and 2x4 , Im like no its not there are 5 units behind that wall and 12 kids you dumb as_ I told him I take the gun if he did any more shooting .

As a teenager I used a 22 for hunting. And from what I saw of its effects, I came to the conclusion that a 22 is not to be underestimated.
No Shit! I've taken all kinds of small game up to and including deer with a .22 and have slaughtered sheep, beef and pig with the same gun. the trouble with the .22 is you have to be a skilled hunter and a dead shot to place it accurately, and you have to be close enough for the round to be effective. Not many are that skilled with a weapon!
@@imapaine-diaz4451 you can be sure, if the dry wall is the normal 20 to 25 ft. As in a normal situation, your test is probably not going to even close, sorry. Ol by
Those saying .22LR isn't enough power need something "bigger" as replacement fuzz on their peaches. Once shots are fired, hitting home or not, an intruder is out of there... or down.
If it doesn't stovepipe or jam,you can't deny that 22s jam more than ANY firearm,if squirrels are breaking in to your house they may give you a sec to clear the chamber and rack a new one but a meth head with 45 ain't gonna wait,I have many 22s and sometimes they jam,a major no no
@@stevedeutsch7240 yep ,when I was a teen I would put my 10/22 up against a mattress in our barn,like right up against it,9/10 that mattress stopped it ,if it didn't freaking jam,no way am I trusting my life with one.its like a framer saying I can frame this whole house with a tack hammer instead of a nailgun,right tools for the right job imo
22lr has been around for well over a 100 years. Still, it's the most misunderstood and underestimated round there is.....
History has proven a thrown rock will kill. How anyone could believe an explosive propelled one wouldn't be dangerous is beyond me.
Yup, I am working up a bullpup 10-22. Rimfire ammo is the only one that we are allowed to own full sized magazines for up here in Canada. Which is a shame, I would rather be using centerfire cuz then I would have access to Glaser rounds and I wouldnt be watching penetration videos... on CZcams.
@ I KNEW somebody who was killed by a 22 . I guess it is better then a toaster.
I’ve saw many episodes of Forensic Files (which are actual real-life murder cases) and it seems like of the ones who were shot, there were more shot with a .22 LR than anything else.

If someone pointed a .22 at me I would have the same bowel response as a .223.
+cullen riley My mother and father always carried .22 revolvers for defense. They figured if a bad guy was close enough to matter, they would just stick the gun in the bad guys face and pull the trigger. A couple of hollow points to the head will make most any thug change his mind.

+Lithus17 And what about a .50AE? You miss the point. It's a demo of the 22lr. All wall punching stats go up from here. But about this weird preference for getting shot with a 22lr. Most sane people don't want to be shot by anything! I sometimes carry a 22lr & can guarantee (GA-RON-TEE) if I have to use it, the recipient ain't gonna feel like bothering me (or anyone else).
I am the weapon. My gun is merely a tool. Don't blame your tools because you can't get the job done.
cullen riley same because 22 Is little but deadly

22lr ain't no game. Great video bro. Helps people learn what's really what 👍
Your plans to deal with home invasion have GOT to take into consideration your family and your neighbors. Do what you need to do - protect your loved ones - but always keep in mind those around you.
My NRA class taught me just that. Home intrusion, keep you head and know where you're aiming. Kids in the next room, neighbor's house, etc.
410 shotgun with #8 loads will get the job done , in my opinion.
I have 12 gauge target loads. Fuck it
“Know your target and what lays beyond”
you should add 10 feet of space between every other piece of drywall to simulate rooms. Air causes friction and slows the bullet.
So do potential hits on the studs, wires, plumbing, etc.
Exactly…while I believe 22s are lethal, I know there is the variable of space between walls often overlooked
@@APlife764
What those extra pieces of drywall simulate are things in the room. Furniture, clothes, beds, PEOPLE. Those things also cause friction. Nobody competent lives in a completely empty house even if you live alone. One of those pieces of drywall could also have been a window that’s 10 feet from your neighbors house. Who knows. You should always know what’s behind your target whether it was an intention shot or not.
Still, goes to show what a .22lr is capable of and that it shouldn’t be underestimated.
And insulation..
Yea I wanna make a mock up of regular studs and drywall. Drywall with electrical wires through it. Drywall with some pvc pipes, and drywall with metal duct work. Pretty sure it’s non existent on CZcams from my searching would love to see 22LR and also HP some different grains see what’s what. Curious what round goes through as little as possible
Never underestimate the energy behind a .22 LR round. Still wondering why people laugh at 22 rifles. I'm sure a well placed shot from one would wipe smiles off faces.
Even though the .22LR is tiny, its a really fast round, and is (depending on the company and the weapon, and shooter) ia extremely accurate. It can easily kill a person, given the number of rounds and where it hits.
After all, it was the 22 lr round that had nearly killed President Reagan.
It also wounded Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy (who had acted as a human shield for the Commander-In-Chief) and police officer Thomas Delahanty (who, unfortunately, was forced to retire from the Metropolitan Police Dept. due to the permanent nerve damage he incurred to his left arm by John Hinckley Jr.).
shikat2371 Interesting info, thanks. I didn't realize it was a 22 lr that was used.
People laugh at it bc it is one of the weakest rifles
I've still to the day never had someone who claimed they are soooooo weak volunteer to take a .22lr in the chest from 10yd
Amazed at the penetration of the CCI "Stanger"
Why is your pronunciation better?
@@dnsmithnc lighten up Frances
See see eye Stang-ger
CCI developed a line of Stingers called Stanger’s because of him.
When you’re that good, they enlarge the box to envelope your ideas.
I was suspecting that was "twing" on Stinger. I was like, WTF is a "stanger"?
Since the mid-70s, I've used .22LR, for self defense, NOT as as an expense issue, but for accuracy, dependability, and (truth be told), stopping power (and believe me, proficiency IS a factor, IF you rely on
.22LR exclusively). CCI Stingers (hyper velocity hollow points) are a VERY practical choice (personal opinion) for my Ruger six inch, as is my old Iver-Johnson, also an excellent weapon for the use of shot shells. All this is of course, personal preference, but preference born of experience.
This is where you needed to say "and remember, .22LR is real ammunition, treat it as such "
Some people really underestimate .22lr
AirsoftSlo theres nothing to underestimate its a piece of absolute shit
Roberto Tamborrini It can kill people,animals and destroy objects. To me that is a great caliber plus its cheap. You need aur rifles registered here and you need multiple permits to get a .22lr so I guess it is fairly decent. Soneone can still make your lights black with a small s&w or ruger in .22lr with a suppressor and no one will know...
AirsoftSlo yeah deffo pal, im just talking about compared to other rounds, its capable but its nothing really
And the 20,000 lb GBU-43 MOAB has nothing on a 5KT W80 nuclear warhead. Does not mean I would wish to have one dropped on my house. While the 22lr may not be a .30-06 it's still dangerous at the minimum and potentially lethal. And yet still people treat 22LR firearms like toys.

.22LR is a massively underestimated round in my opinion. I use a .22 Chiappa M1 Carbine as my home defense weapon loaded with Remington Thunderbolt roundnose SP. Figure a couple of those will do the trick.
At the 3:34 mark, so the answer is 10 sheets or 5 walls (2-sided). Also it is without any insulation in the walls and firing at perfect 90 degree angle with the walls all 6 inches apart.
Interior walls usually don’t have insulation. So worst case scenario is inside your home without hitting other things along the way it could travel 5 rooms(including closets) over. Possibly being lethal or damaging in the 4th room but likely not in the 5th.
Add in insulation or an exterior wall (brick) is would likely travel less. Still not a low power enough to forget about what’s behind your target in a self defense situation.

Wow,
Any gun can kill someone if hit them in right place, laugh if want but .22 can kill like any other gun, so respect .22 like any other gun.
jwflyaway no.
anime trash yes
Guns don't kill bullets do, well I suppose you could pistol some to death.
I have seen people killed with a 22.
@Smokey Bear and president Reagan, damn near...
Yep. 5 shot pump shotgun with 18.5” barrel and number 4 pheasant shot is my fav for inside the home.
Videos like this are very informative. For some reason, in some circles. people scoff at a .22 and refer to it as a loud bb gun.
However the truch is the .22 is just as deadly as any other round. Any time a projectile puts a hole in your body that isn't supposed to be there,, it's a bad thing.
I saw a test on another channel showing that a .22 lr at 500 yards was easily capable of going through a human body.
Great video.
Sandor Althof I own one and I agree. Now just to learn how to properly aim it so I get bullseye everytime...
It will SHATTER any skull on Earth. PERIOD!!! Nuff said.....
@@jamiesloan5902 I sure you mean human skull.
Alot of people underestimate the power of a 22. Nice little round
The assassin's choice. Dismissing the .22lr as a home defense weapon is a mistake because it has killed more than most people realize.
Tom Baker yup assassination attempts were with a 22
nyc mob choice back in the day.
….A day later.
In 1981 Hinckley nearly got Reagan with a .22...and seriously injured Press Sec Brady, Delahanty (policeman), and McCarthy (Secret Service).
The shot that hit President Reagan was a ricochet.
Actually, Mob choice was not a 22. They used a 25 caliber revolver pistol very precisely applied point blank to the brain stem by a sneaky approach from behind.
Definitely my favorite caliper, most common and abundant gun round out there, when everyone was racing to the store to buy ammo, I was buying tons of .22. best survival rifle in any situation, defense, offense it can do it all. Cheaper too.😎👍💯
Yeah but if you really, REALLY need to kill with one shot from far away, the good old .308 is a gem
I once had a 22lr go in one side of me and out the other. It was no pea shooter. It felt like a softball went through me.
There speaks a man who knows.
did it go through your heart?
Would you do it again?
Wow glad your still here to tell your story an to let it be know the 22 is no sissy it saved my life when gangbangers tried to rob me idk if I hit them but they ran so fast they almost took flight
When did you first notice?
this has been confirmed again and again. at close range (which almost all cases of self defense occurs) the .22 is sufficient. noone is claiming its meant for combat against "hard" targets...but against soft human flesh - its a killer.
@Phil McCrevice I wonder what your thoughts are on that statement today? ;)
@@davecasey4341 shots fired
Nah, I need high explosive, armor piercing, high velocity, anti-tank, long range, incendiary, uranium depleted, belt fed, hollow point, full metal jacket, anti aircraft rounds for plinking. If I have an intruder, I need to move up to nuclear ordnance. It's the only way to be sure.
What you want for self defense is stopping power. Sure a .22 will kill you, however the target may dance for a bit. A .45 on the hand, well they'll feel it
@Randall Moore self defense is up close and personal, otherwise its very hard to prove. In that context accuracy is irrelevant, you'll hit your target. That's why pocket pistols are common, your short single stack 9's or 45's, its not because they are accurate, because they aren't. But rather because its easily concealed and will provide a means of self defense. Do you really prefer accuracy over stopping power? I prefer the threat to seize immediately. But to each their own.
When I was a kid, a friend discharged a 22. In his living room. It went through the wall behind him and lodged in the mattress of the upper bunk bed in his brother's bedroom. His brother was in the bed! The bullet went through 2 layers of drywall, 1/2" plywood under the mattress and stopped in the mattress. Fortunately no one was hurt. His mom never found out!
To everyone whining about "no insulation"...insulation is generally just in your exterior walls and if your lucky it might be in your bathroom walls.
Cameron F depends where you are, most multi family units have insulation on interior walls cause of the sound deadening. In places where it gets cold most homes have interior wall insulation as well. And older homes Often just have some weird stuff going on behind drywall like more drywall, or brick, post an beam home often have wood strip wall and horse hair plaster.
I’d still like to see a test with insulation I doubt it would affect the travel that much but you never know if you don’t try.
But the bullet leaving the house and going through that and then the siding with likely plywood?
Plush, hollow points will break up better than a solid
@@dominicsmall4566 wrong!
@@Knotrockets I’m sorry what part was wrong?
12 sheets of ply that close together is not the equivalent of 6 walls in your house. It's a great test but the distance between walls, bullet tumbling, insulation, all will slow down the bullet. And my walls are doubled on both sides with a better grade of drywall.
Dry wall rigidly mounted on studs on both sides would adsorb less energy than the bottom mounted test pieces, and more pieces would be penetrated.
Also, most houses only have insulation in EXTERIOR walls, so this test is good on that score.
+tom jackson ... ALSO - most production & multi family builders use the thinner 3/8" drywall.
No wonder your houses suck over there lol
Yeah, this is not about the test or penetration of such walls. Who lives in a cardboard box? That's a joke. I would rather live in a trailer park drinking JD and pee into a bucket. It's already miserable to have plaster walls but non insulated... damn.
After 4 walls you are going to have to go through some siding.
I’ve shot a .22 lr through 5/8 think pine wood and it went strait through and berated the 2ltr pop bottle behind it at roughly 20 feet away.
Definitely surprised at how the pistol rounds from a slide action auto wearing a suppressor were that close in penetration to the lever action rifle rounds
Chances are good that the barrel is actually too long on the lever gun. If your powder charge is not enough to continue to accelerate the projectile for the length of the barrel, then it can actually begin to lose velocity before it clears the muzzle. As we all know, a 22lr is not dealing with an abundance of case volume for a powder charge.
Lots of people don't realize, suppressors actually increase the velocity of the round.
@John Smith optimal length is going to vary by powder charge and bullet weight. You need a long enough burn to continue accelerating the bullet until it is going to clear the muzzle, which of course will change based on just how long the barrel is. This is also the reason we use slower powder to reload with heavy bullets, and faster burning powder for lighter weight bullets.
Sometimes higher velocity = less penetration. Especially in HP ammo like the Stinger and Velocitor. I think we would have seen greater penetration out of the rifle with round nose projectiles.
@@geckster109 for this to happen. One of two things must be true. Either the hollow point bullets are being driven too slow from a pistol, not allowing the bullet to expand, and thus over penetrating, usually not a concern for such light weight bullets. Or, they have to be moving so fast from the rifle length barrel, that they are experiencing bullet failure due to excessive velocity. Neither case is likely here.
I would be comfortable in any gunfight with my 17-shot tube-loaded .22rifle
Not at 250 yards.
@Phil McCrevice awesome, looking forward to that video!
@Dagwood Dogwood do Marlin 60's hold that many in the tube?

The CCi Stinger forever renamed the Stanger. Wish i could find those damn things.
“ STANGEEER bounced outta numba tin !”
The .22lr is constantly under estimated. This is an extremely lethal round and will do the job
I agree, I had a argument with a know it all once who said it was useless. I said I guarantee if a proficient shooter in stressful situations was able to dump all 10 rounds into your face I bet you’d change your mind. He just got mad and wanted to change the topic.
Cool vid and interesting but I wonder how the results would have changed if there were room size gaps between every other sheet of drywall?

Thank you, too many people don't respect what even a small caliber firearm can do!!!
Absolutely deadly. Proper shot placement will stop a threat immediately.
With anything even a pellet gun
@@H2oHazard I was referring to the 22lr but, yes, ANY projectile that will enter the body and affect it in a way to cause death will work. The words "will" and "affect" are key in this understanding. Yes, a pellet with enough integrity and speed could be fatal. How the pellet achieves these is an engineering problem to be solved. Be safe.

@@DaHoodedBandit (Not that I ever want to be shot in the head, but...) hope you're called to be my paramedic, if that be the case. Best Regards.
Nice presentation. I was shocked at the outcome!
Actually this test should be done with at least 7ft spacing between every pair of drywall (w/ 2x4 spacer). This would simulate flying through one wall, crossing the room and exiting the other wall. More accurate test IMHO.
Velocity drop isn't that much over such a short distance. 7 feet between each of these would only end up at around 40-50 total feet. You might get 1 less dry wall board at that distance. They would still go from one side of your house to the other.
a c thanks for that. I’m saying set them up as if it were room next to room next to room. This would show what would happen if we are shooting within a home where you may have a few bedrooms next to each other and possibly a common area next to that or in an office setting. What I want to ascertain is what the bullet would do in that potential scenario where other members of a family or colleagues in a work environment could be affected. The scenario in the video is cool for bullet travel over a short distance, but would not help me in a real world scenario unless I’m trying to shoot somebody in a drywall factory loading dock where multiple sheets of drywall might be stacked up in a series similar to this.
@@lusmythe4898 that's not what the test is for. It's for seeing what could happen if you miss your shot.

Just gonna post in advance for anyone making the routine "but you used a silencer" argument... the one we see on every penetration and body armor test on youtube. Ugh.
Long story short: Silencers alone don't decrease muzzle velocity, many actually increase by small margins, so don't confuse them with using subsonic loads. I'm betting 80%+ of the people in the comments know this, but hey, just for those other guys.
Nick condo
Well, on the plus side, for all the video game idiots interested enough to crawl their way over to Plink and other IRL firearms youtubers, they'll learn a lot about actual firearms fast and rough, likely thanks to the interest brought on by video games.
I was once one such vidiot, but now I watch gun stuff for 50% culture and 50% impromptu science and mechanics. Not to mention there's a lot of history bound to firearms for the past few centuries.
+YCCCm7 Very true. I just watched an un-suppressed 338 Lapua fail to reach a target at just under 1500 yards because it dropped to subsonic speeds and destabilized, but once the suppressor was put on, it could reach it consistently. Tried to take it out another 100 yards and it became unstable again due to dropping too much speed. The suppressor gave it just enough of a boost to make 1500 yards accurately. Very impressive.
this the best test I've seen!!now we need to test with a actual house distances,go through a wall plus room distances in a actual home I'm impressed
My thoughts exactly.
Very interesting, I didn't expect it to go through that many sheets of drywall either. That's pretty cool!
What I find amazing is the relatively small amount of apparent increase in power when fired from a rifle in comparison to the much shorter pistol barrel.
There is a substantial difference. Usually a bit over 200 fps. That is substantial (somewhere around 14% increase. He also used a suppressed pistol (which I don't understand why since most people are not going to have a suppressor on their HD pistols) which slowed the pistol shots down some.
*AMAZING, I THOUGHT MAYBE 3 AND STOP AT 4 SHEETS...WHO KNEW?!!* 😯 *BOTTOM LINE, BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU POINT THAT GUN, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!* 😱
That is exactly why I love my .22 Ruger little thing is loud and powerful, easy to carry.
In standard framing the 2X4 studs are 16” on center. That means that approxamently 84 percent of the wall is just two layers of sheetrock. Normaly there is no insulation used on interior walls. I doubt that 3-1/2” of fiberglass insulation would have much effect on the bullit.
Nah, I need high explosive, armor piercing, high velocity, anti-tank, long range, incendiary, uranium depleted, belt fed, hollow point, full metal jacket, anti aircraft rounds for plinking. If I have an intruder, I need to move up to nuclear ordnance. It's the only way to be sure.

Spot on. Your commentry is spot on.
The distance from the gun to the target makes a huge difference. I had a 1948 International pickup truck when I was a kid, and it'd already been target practice for quite a few gunners. I tried shooting .22 LR's (Sears, made by Winchester) from a Ruger 10/22 rifle at this 10 (?) gauge sheet metal on the bed sides. At 50 feet from the target, the bullet dented the metal, but didn't make it through. At 30 feet or so, part of the bullet made it through, but the rest was left as a starfish type pattern stuck to the perimeter of the hole. At 5 feet away, the entire bullet made it through. That's some serious velocity drop from a relatively small amount of air.
22lr isn't very aerodynamic.
Just saying y'all if you use any kind of .22 round it will put someone down, those bullets can travel a mile and a half that's something I was taught growing up they are dangerous little things
You were taught wrong. Even the . 223 will barely reach that far. A .22lr won't even make it a mile. And it will be about as dangerous as hail at that distance.
Ok. Thanks for doing this! Oh dear, the .22LR is showing more and more why I chose it, and I am ever more comfortable as a disabled older guy to have it for both fun target shooting and for home defense!
So how big is that bullet diameter again? Oh, right, almost 1/4 of an inch. So imagine some crazy nutter comes at you with an 8 inch long Philips screw-driver, the shaft of which is about a 1/4 inch in diameter. Get it?
So that crazy dude stabs you in the chest twice. You think you'd like that? I know I would not!
The hole a .22LR leaves is actually bigger, thanks to the disruptive effect of the shockwave. So a double tap from a 22 pistol is like getting stabbed with that screw driver twice. YIKES! Good luck trying to survive that one!
people tend to leave you alone when you poke holes in them
I was impressed with your accuracy, nice four corners group!
I got a 22 rifle when I was 8 years old a Sears and Roebuck that was 60 years ago, still shoots excellent.
I like how you can see the bullet drop as it goes through the panels.
+Coffee Shark Not really bullet drop; he was shooting at a downward angle because he's taller than his target.
The idiots that think .22's and 410's are toys and need 45's, 357's, and AK's should watch this... then pull their heads out of their A$$es...
pull your own head out ....as I have all those you mentioned and then some....
WOW! That was a shocker. Thank you for the demonstration!
I had been considering doing the same test, thanks dor saving me a lot of time and trouble. Good video
you forgot the most important variable in that is the distance between the actual walls which it varies from 10 to 20 foot to try to set up only three walls with a distance of 10-20 foot from each other and you'll come out with very different results.
+SinClairOnAir Nonsense. A far more important variable would be the angle you shot the wall at. Firing dead-on like this I doubt the rounds would be deflected more than a few inches until it had passed through several walls already.
+Mark Laver it will if the distance between the walls is 10-20 but not if it's like he did it
+SinClairOnAir Thank you. I was just about to type the same thing
This DAMN DUDE is AWESOME, just started watching his vids. And i must say from an AVVVVVID .22 gunner, YOU ROCK BROTHER KEEP IT UP!!!
I was watching a video the other day that showed .22LR vs 1/2" pine plank. Apparently that's a standard gauge for lethality (or something). If a bullet can penetrate the plank, it's pretty much guaranteed to be capable of killing. A rifle at 440 yards was pushing that .22LR bullet through the plank.
Ok so I see a lot of love for 22. It's far from ideal for home defense however. If you really wanna put someone down without relying on perfect shot placement, you need more energy.
far exceeded my expectations .
Would be interested to see the results with subsonic hollow points
Not only will a .22lr stop a person.
It’s the best gun for small game hunting and survival.
And you can carry 3x the amount of ammo for the same weight as .223
And for way less money.
And if need be, you can silence a .22 to near nothing.
It’s a fantastic all around round.
Man this makes me like my Kel-tec CP33 with 33 rounds in each magazine even more. I have it topped with a Holosun HE508t optic and can hold 1/2" group at 25 yards. I need to try it at 50, 75, 100, yards now. MAN WHAT A TACK DRIVER!!👍😎👍 It has a 4.1/2" barrel, the difference the projectile actually travels in. I don't include anything but the pipe in my measurements. That's how manufacturers mislead consumers with barrel lengths.
A 22LR will travel through enough wall to kill someone in the next room and possibly more that one wall. Actually, any centerfire bullet will do much the same. Don't even consider an assault rifle! There have been, historically, many people wounded and killed from a shot fired through wooden and stucco outer walls as well.
The truth is that the best gun for home defense is a riot gun or another shotgun. One that will not penetrate walls. Besides, shooting accuracy is less critical AND just the sound of wracking a riot gun will make the average burglar or anyone else will piss themselves and leave post-haste.
This was the advice given to me in the 1970s when a kidnapper tried to grab my 5 daughters after an attempted kidnapping through a bedroom window. The cop was a detective lieutenant that I had known for some time.
The next day I bought an Ithica Featherlight. I actually did have the need, some time later, to rack that shotgun. Very effectively, I will add.
You do realize that you can get shot rounds for pistols don't you??? Even .22 cal. And depending on what round you have in a shotgun, you could easily penetrate several walls. Double ought buckshot is .33 caliber, and there are nine in a shell, compared to 1-.22 cal long rifle. There's WAY more to consider than caliber. I'm not going to wait to rack a shell in a gun, there's already going to be a round in the chamber. All they're going to hear in their last few seconds is a muzzle blast.
That info from the 70's is pure BS. FACT is, it's much easier to use a hand gun, for a multitude of reasons.
ffjsb I sincerely doubt that a.22round with shot pellets will stop anyone. Show me a person that doesn’t freeze when they hear a riot gun wracked. Not the same sound as mist shotguns. Ever own one?
Thank you for tour opinion, but my opinion is based on experience and a police lieutenants advice. Stay well in this trying and difficult time.
@@ronlheureux7623 First off it's RACKED, not "wracked". Secondly, let me know if you have a deployment to Iraq. You information is at least 50 years old, and I'm not going to waste time chambering a round, my weapons already have a round in the chamber ready to go.
No, .22 cal shot probably won't stop someone, but it is available. There are many weapons that are way easier to handle than a shotgun. Your claim that a shotgun is the best home defense weapon is simply NOT TRUE. There are a TON of variables that have to be considered. They CAN be a good weapon, but you simply CANNOT say it's the best. I don't care what that police Lt. told you.
i traded my Riot gun for an assault rifle
Thanks I need to hang some pictures in all the rooms saves me drilling holes
Learned about this years ago at one of my NRA gun safety classes. IF an intruder is in your house you have to figure on your body position and the line of fire at the intruder. Where will the bullet go after exiting the person (if you hit them)? Kids room, or where? With the adrenaline pumping I'm sure it's easier said than done.
The second thing discussed about the .22 specifically was the little damage they do. the person shot is so pumped with adrenaline that they may not feel it or even know they were hit until later, which means they continue their attack. Think of a deer running 200 yards after a bullet of a 30-30 or 30-06 through it's lungs. My neighbor tracked a deer over two miles and after gutting it found it hit vitals.
I'll stick with the 00 Buck Shot or my 9mm pistol. It comes down to whatever I can get my hands on is what I'm using.
Practice, practice, practice. Don't forget to know your firearms and not just own one. Go to a range and use the thing. Don't rely on it magically working if you've never handled it. I've got a relative who bought two Glocks and they are in the safe upstairs. Never out of the box. Never shot at the range.
Can you imagine him fumbling around trying to load and prepare to fire something he never shot? Oh boy
TAKE NRA FIREARMS SAFETY TRAINING.
Last thing to say as I rant on and on. How skinny are this guys family? Four inches between walls? What about studs in the walls, wiring, the insulation to the outside wall, plywood as sheathing, siding whether wood, aluminum, or vinyl?
But we should get the picture. know what your doing.
Watch some Hog shooting with a 22 . and come again!
i've taught both of my sisters to lay on the floor and shoot up at the intruder,if the room is dark the flash will illuminate the room to re aim at the stupid person,taught them to fire 3 and roll and do it over again,this way the bullet exits through the roof and loved ones are not affected,knowing your own home is where the edge is,hiding in your own home is easy and smart
Thats why you use subsonic for home defense schoopid. The high velocity is for range/distance. Even special operations and SWAT have special load outs in their sub machine guns. Depending on the mission.
Very impressive had no idea the 22 lr could penetrate like that
I've read a lot of responses where people mention insulation in the walls. Most interior walls ARE NOT insulated, except bathrooms for noise reduction. If all interior walls in a house with a central climate control unit were insulated, then there would be significant variance in temperature from room to room. That's why most walls aren't insulated. Also, pipes and wiring in a house are quite sparse. You would have to aim specifically at either to even hit them, so no pipe and wire is a good analog given the low chances of hitting them. Bear in mind, this was a worst case scenario, meaning, "How many interior walls can a .22 go through if you missed your target in your house and DIDN'T hit pies and insulation?" the most likely event by far.
+colmhain Why would you keep pies in your wall?
+OperationDEEZ ........ For water....and sewer....
+colmhain This needs to be the top comment
Samoht Eel LOL! Thanks!
OperationDEEZ Apparently, pies are good troll food.
Something to consider is that not all walls are the same, garage walls against the house have 5/8" drywall, as do many apartment common walls. Not to mention that an exterior wall will have insulation. There's also the studs, wiring, pipes, ducts, and things hanging on the walls. So in reality, 3-4 walls would be more likely. More than that would be a lucky shot.
Awesome, I've always said the .22 is under estimated, but most interior walls have insulation in them, so I know this is a few years old, but I'd like to see it revisited and include insulation.
Most into. Walls do not have inst. In them. Just outside one
@@jamesplant7006 my previous 3 houses have all had interior insulation. A large majority of modern house have insulation these days, mainly for sound proofing
each of these dry walls simulate a wall in your house .....laughing in my german stone bunker
How many people live in a house with 4" wide rooms? Deflection and velocity loss over feet no accounted for!
Deflection, sure. But this video is not about being accurate through walls. Also, the velocity that is lost simply due to distance traveled, is completely inconsequential when the distance is measurable with a tape measure...
Get behind your statement then.-former 11b4p
3.5” walls. Lumber is dimensional
I think velocity loss due to air resistance through 10 feet of air is probably negligible. However, we may lose some tumbling effects.
No exterior insulation, No exterior plywood, not siding, no foam that may be there for added insulation.
But the point is well taken
Hollow points or round nose ammunition also makes a huge difference in damage and penetration
I guessed 6-8 and was thoroughly impressed by both rounds esp. the "stanger!" GB!!
I went to a local Walmart and asked for some CCI Stangers and the employee said "What?".
Ask that some places in the south,they won"t bat an eye !-I like different styles of speaking by the way if everyone sounded the same what a boring world it would be!
If kyle’s fist can go through dry wall, a bullet definitely can.
I have a STEYR RFP handgun and love it! Trust me, it will do the job
The little bullet that said, " Hell yeah, I can!" 🤣🤣🤣😃
Test if a pocket full of change can stop a bullet
+Zachary Fisher That is a great idea
great idea
answer is most likely
+Zachary Fisher I bet it would but i would love to see him make a vid on it
+Zachary Fisher Uhmmm, I'll let you try that, let me know how it turns out, and how much it hurts. LOL.
I for one do not live in a house that walls are that close together. For a true test i would say do it again with the walls, say 10 to 12 feet apart. Very different out come i would guess.
Agreed totally. When the bullet has room to start tumbling, you'll see way less penetration. In real life with walls 10 to 12 feet apart, bet they don't go through 11 layers of drywall
Absolutely. I was saying the exact same thing.
True. It would probably only go through 1 or 2 walls depending on how far apart they are and stick into the third. Once they're proper residential walls with insulation, compound mud and paint that is. Hell it might hit a 2x4 100% at certain angles.
@@KantoCacho
Only thing is most interior walls do not have insulation. But still the distance between walls will make a big difference.
Best channel on CZcams. Thx Plinkster.
Interesting fact, when I was a kid back in the 70s the RCMP aired a show about home safety and .22's back then they said would go through 11 sheets of drywall, not really any big difference as it was aimed at children back then. I see most things haven't changed much good video
