>>1665598>>1665621.22lr in general sucks dick for self defense and a .22 rifle isn't gonna help you against some methhead jumping you from the side of the trail with a pocket knife or any form of dangerous wildlife. I don't care how hard you larp as a long distance shooter it is ballistically hot fucking garbage and wont cause rapidly debilitating damage outside of a lucky shot. I recommend you go buy an actual decent handgun that causes a reliably large amount of tissue damage if you're actually concerned having to deal with another person on the trail and I also recommend shutting the fuck up and not recommending shit you don't understand to other posters. Oh and .22 only "has killed millions of people" because its cheap as shit and easy to steal. Rocks have also killed millions of people but they aren't a reliable or good defensive tool.
