It just baffles me that people will recommend a caliber nobody would suggest using on a 30lb coyote to protect people from a 275lb North American Rape Ape. If you're so fragile you can only operate a 22 buy your home care nurse a nice .380 for when she has to take you to doctors appointments.

The actual problem is that the brass the cases are made out of is brittle and has aged very poorly. Due to this, you tend to get cracked cases, casehead separattion, and stuck cases, which can lead to the above incident with all the gas venting into the stock, which is particularly troublesome in a Carcano action as while those actions are very strong, they lack good gas mitigation measures like interwar and later mauser designs.

You aren't going to convince people it's not dangerous with that. If the load is too powerful for the brass then it is overpressure.
The gas vented into the magazine which bulged out the sides and split the stock, not ideal but preferable to pushing the bolt out the rear or splitting the receiver upwards.

It's also not unique to surplus ammunition, new production Turkish ammunition is known for either not cycling consistently or occasionally detonating upon striking the primer.

Not today, ATF Man! I'm not going to let you Randy Weaver me!

And I was saying the Vector looks weird with 33rnd GLOCK mags. Judge for yourself.View attachment 7830270

idunno man, anything on a vector still looks cool. do the 17 round mags fit flush? i won't go back to look for the answer that's probably in this thread but how does the recoil compare to our good friend the MP5?

The concept of .22 being an acceptable self-defense round needs to die in a fire.

Didn't Carl whatshisname of forgotten weapons talk about how the PS90 was only for tards but the P90 drilling someone FA was good enough for the US Secret Service guard detail?

IMHO only realistic lethal use of a .22LR is to pop the commie in the back of the head with a mouse-fart suppressor, crowd control in certain countries and specific extremely crowded areas back in the day such as airplanes when they didn't have frangible ammo. I could see the value in FA drilling an active threat with 30 rounds of .22LR in high risk environment packed with civilians.

The .22LR like any true rimmed cartridge was never designed to be flawlessly run in a magazine. Even past 10 rounds we all know a high quality gun like the 10/22 gets finicky. I was told in the 1970's some foreign law enforcement officers similar to US air marshals did in fact carry a .22LR Beretta model 70. I was told if Mohamed somehow got a weapon aboard a plane the theory was .22LR was the best option in an aluminum tube full of civilians going 400 miles an hour. I assume frangible ammo didn't exist back then. WTF do US air marshals carry? Last I heard it was Speer Gold Dot 9mm JHP. Sigs and Glocks.

As far as those of us just living normal everyday life I'll take a .22 over a pocket knife, my own preference starts @ .40 subcompact and full size.

As far as recoil goes it probably is a moot point until the RPTR or whatever they're calling the FRT comes out.

So far I've only shot mine as a pistol, but I've got the riser for the EOTech on the way so I'll be able to report back on recoil from the shoulder soon. Shooting it as a pistol, the recoil impulse is kinda funky. Really low, but the whole thing shifts around a bit due to that counter weight on the vectored recoil system moving around. It's not bad, it's just different and unlike anything else I've shot. I'm fairly certain it will be far less noticeable when fired from the shoulder.

And the FRT for the Vector is no longer called the RPTR. They ran into trademark issues. Its called the RTL-R or something like that. The company making it has changed names as well. They're Duality Arms now.

Look man some of us go sold by video games thinking it’s neat. In fact I’m pretty sure that’s 100% of my gun owning

Only reason I have my MR1 is because I used it a lot in Alliance Of Valiant Arms and Ghost Recon
