.22 shotgun......

[Dan_Mercian 27]

Has anyone ever used one?

 

 

Im struggling to understand what a .22 cartridge would look like, Ive google imaged .22 shotgun cartridge and cant see anything apart from the usual 9mm garden gun rounds.

 

 

Heres a link to afore mentioned .22 shotgun:

Theres only 4 on the whole of guntrader so im guessing they're really unpopular due to being rubbish??

most smooth bore 22 shotguns are shite however they still could i would imagine be able to fire a 22 rimfire subsonic round

Well if they do look like the above photo

 

Then im guessing they could fire .22 rifle ammunition

your guess could be right however you can still get 22 shot shells

your not even going to kill a rat with a 22 shotgun unless very close , they will fire 22lr rounds but you wont hit anything with it as its a smooth bore and the bullet head just flips over through the air and makes a funny noise when flying

one of my mates used .22rf bird shot that was recomended by the gun shop for shooting pigeons in a barn using a .22 rimfire rifle, you would have thought he was firing bird seed they proved to be totally useless and unused rounds were returned to shop

if you put 22 shot in a 22 rifle and put a cup 10 yards away from you and shoot at it you will miss the cup but shoot a circle around the cup as the rifled barell sends the shot everywhere

So in a nutshell, they're wank

pritty much what happened was when the firearms act came in and everyone had to have a ticket and prove their need to own a 22 rifle, someone came up with the idea of smooth boring the 22 rifle barrels so they could be kept as shotguns hence the 22 shotgun

My uncle used a 22 shotshell like that to kill mice indoors at his house in North Wales. I never asked if the gun was somooth-bore, but it must have been, because it did hit mice and was very effective. He lived alone at the time, but still I thought it was odd being able to safely fire any gun indoors.
