Who said .22′s are not deadly?

I would never recommend hunting medium sized game with a .22 short but this just goes to show what a little 29 grain chunk of lead traveling at a measly 700-800 fps can do!

    I would like to see video confirmation on a standard velocity 40 grain .22 rimfire going through both treads of a steel radial truck tire. The hog skull is more believable. If I dropped and cleanly killed a 175# hog with a .22 CB, I would keep the skull, throw it in an ant bed, and hold on to it until, ‘you know who’ says ‘you know what’ about velocity/energy/ethics, and then I would calmly post proof. It almost seems as though there are at least two people on this bolg with a similar mind set, maybe just coincidence…

    the scull is old and already decomposed, did you think its a fresh kill and the guy waited for it tO rot? old scull , new shot.

    dont get me wrong a .22short will penetrate a fresh scull. i shot at a truck tire with a standard velocity 40gr solid and it went through both sides on the traction sides, with steelbelt

    How can you tell that this skull wasn’t shot while the animal was alive?

    well a 22 long with a proper rifle is considered by some to be the ultimate survival weapon.
