What can't a 22 do?

[Pikecrazed]

So talking with my grandfather the other day, he told me back in the 50s he was a doctor on a res in northerb alberta. Anyways he said that one day some of the natives shot and killed a grizzly with a 22. That got me thinking, i personally have seen Bison, cattle and a few other large animals taken by a 22. What animals have you seen taken with a 22?

The .22 can kill a lot of things but cannot legally be used for killing lots of things as well!

My dad said that back where he lived guys used to kill the cows with them but the barrel was touching the cows head. just about anything out there could be taken with a .22 either through ridiculasly good shot placement or using a bucket of bullets.

The wee one can do a lot, not the calibre of choice for somethings both from a legal perspective and game that may eat you

But in a pinch it's more effective than a punch in the nose
