I’m not sure why you’d consider it large either, it fits trivially in the palm of your hand.
Are you maybe imagining that the whole cartridge would be fired? because it’s only the very end bit that actually gets shot, the rest of it is just to hold gunpowder and the bullet in place inside the gun.
The actual bullet itself is about the size of a pea, i think.
I call it a weapon. They’re all the same to me. Not that there’s anything wrong with shooting as a hobby, but they’re all dangerous no matter which type of gun.
Well obviously it didn’t leave a small wound. You’re not shooting with grapes, you’re firing heavy pointy metal cylinders at 3000 km/h. No surprise that it will mess shit up.
what’s a .22? I don’t speak American
It’s small ammunition for small guns.
example
thanks! but, you call that small??
We do, yes.
.50 on the left, .22 LR on the right.
They flank cartridges that are in the “big game hunting/ standard soldier’s rifle” range.

I’m Norwegian. I spent about a year shooting .22s at paper. Everyone calls it a .22 as far as I’ve seen.

I wish you’d just stop it after the “I don’t speak American” nonsense. You sound like the type who’d think a scope makes the bullet go farther.
Besides, you’re repeating a point that was obvious from my retelling of the. 22 through the leg story.
Do you need me to remind you that cars go fast and cats say meow?
because you said “it was way worse than you’d expect” as if one would expect a bullet in their leg to not be a big deal
I mean it didn’t zip right through and leave a small wound that healed easily. It messed shit up and got complicated.
.22 has a weird reputation.

It’s actually 1,332 km/h.
ok whatever, it’s a lot
