The CZIckness XVII.....As we gather together

[churchmouse]

Say what you will about .22
My uncle was shot dead by a .22 when I was very young. He was a strapping man. Huge fella. Arguing with a neighbor and he was shot one time. Bullet spirals through his lung and he drowned in his own blood. Who knew.

Yikes! But does show it is a viable option. Just not necessarily the first choice if others are available.

Nothing wrong with 22lr at the appropriate rate of fire.

It's better than nothing, but not my first choice.

Congrats!

Practice on some scrap metal.

Hold it perpendicular to the surface to be stamped for a uniform imprint.

Strike it hard enough to do the job in one blow. Second strikes can be problematic.

CM, I'm sorry to hear that happened to someone in your family.

Thanks. It was oh so long ago.

 

[Birds Away]

Thanks. It was oh so long ago.

Still sucks.

 

[churchmouse]

Still sucks.

Yup.

But only mentioned to say the .22 can and will put you down.

 

[Trigger Time]

Yup.

But only mentioned to say the .22 can and will put you down.

So will a stone and a slingshot

 

[Birds Away]

Yup.

No argument. Just saying, for most people, it isn't the ideal.

Nope. Not in the least.

1. Unbelievable! Just reinforces my belief that you never know what kind of pain/tragedy that people live with that noone will ever know about.
