i was neither making fun or tearing you down sir. If you skin is that thin, a forum may not be the best place the hang out. I was only commenting on the many things that are near impossible to kill with one shot from a .22lr. I was neither commenting on your skill or abilities, only on the caliber. And thanks for the good day wish. You have a good one yourself. Peace.

I think..I think saying " Eh. Alright". is the most subtle way to agree to a disagreement. Sorry if you took it the wrong way.
LOL

I've strategized on W.R.O.L./military-tactical firearms by using
modern warships for an analogy/comparison.
For example:
The AR-15 semi-automatic 5.56/ .223 rifle = Burke-class DDG Destroyer
Light-weight (in avrage patrolman/infantry carbine, midlength and raifle configurations),
Easy to rapidly point-aim-and-shoot, highly-modular design & manufacture,
accepts various calibers with add-on parts, r
eadily-available spare components and accessories and lethal-ranges of 500-700 yards
on average, best-suited for close-rage engagements.
The M1A/M14 semi-automatic 7.62x51/ .308 rifle = Iowa-class BB Battleship
Heavier standard caliber, more mass, relatively-more difficult to maneuver, Lethal range to
800 - 1100 yards, ideal for long-range engagements.

Using this analogy of infantry firearms-to-warships,
I elected to use a .30-caliber rifle for homestead/
community defensive measures as a sort of "battleship"
to deliver longer-range shots with higher-probabilities
of incapacitation [Not kill shots] over a "Destroyer"
rifle.

I grew up in a farming family that butchered its own beef and hogs occasionally. The always used a 22 to kill the livestock and I never saw it take more than one shot.
It takes a well placed shot for sure, but you can kill some pretty big critters with a 22 if you can hit the right spot.

in shtf theres a chance there won't be working refrigerators or deep freezers to store a whole deer, so small game would prob be preferred by me at least and .22lr can kill lots of squirrels. and you might have to move around so you gonna haul around as much meat as a deer provides
