    I’m Norwegian. I spent about a year shooting .22s at paper. Everyone calls it a .22 as far as I’ve seen.

      I call it a weapon. They’re all the same to me. Not that there’s anything wrong with shooting as a hobby, but they’re all dangerous no matter which type of gun.

        I wish you’d just stop it after the “I don’t speak American” nonsense. You sound like the type who’d think a scope makes the bullet go farther.

        Besides, you’re repeating a point that was obvious from my retelling of the. 22 through the leg story.

        Do you need me to remind you that cars go fast and cats say meow?

          because you said “it was way worse than you’d expect” as if one would expect a bullet in their leg to not be a big deal

            I mean it didn’t zip right through and leave a small wound that healed easily. It messed shit up and got complicated.

            .22 has a weird reputation.

              Well obviously it didn’t leave a small wound. You’re not shooting with grapes, you’re firing heavy pointy metal cylinders at 3000 km/h. No surprise that it will mess shit up.
