but a 40 gr .22 serves what purpose beyond long range rigatoni-splitting target practice?

[Mr Jones]

not much but it should be fun for pushing a tennis ball as far as you can. I've heard of certain military elements who use suppressed .22 rimfire's for close in sniping. Can anyone confirm this?

Cooling off period is over so I'm picking up a Keltec Su-16 today. Scored it cheap.

Unlikely. There is, however, a long and documented history of various SWAT teams and certain military units using integrally supressed Ruger 10/22 rifles and Mark II pistol to kill guard dogs or knock out ambient lights prior to a raid. I can't remember the name of the company that produces them, but the integral cans are supposed to be near-silent.

Not sniping. For dispatching dogs, peacocks and other watch animals. Don't for get the super close don't want to make noise or get brains and cranium chunks on me occasions.

Just picked up my bran spankin used Kel-tec Su16. This thing is so light and it accepts AR mags. It folds up to less than 20 inches long and fits in my hiking pack. Has 2 10rd mags in the buttstock. With 50rds (2 10rd mags in stock + 1 30rd AR mag) and my "pimp my rifle" scope, it's under 10lbs! I'm going to the range tomorrow afternoon! Woot Woot!

oh and for further pimpness, the fore guard splits open and folds down becoming a bipod!
