Be careful not to dox yourself. Talking about and owning guns obviously isn’t illegal, but that doesn’t mean some chud won’t try to use information against you.
We highly recommend using a throwaway when asking for or giving advice that may include identifying information. Using Tor doesn’t hurt.
Is .22 a stupid caliber to have?
No. Best caliber. And I mean that literally. Shot placement matters more than anything else, and there's no better way to get good than sending rounds downrange. If you're paying 5 cents per round, you're gonna be able to practice a lot more per dollar than with any other caliber. Being good with a 10/22 is a lot more valuable than being crappy with a 9mm handgun.
Not at all. It's great for cheap range ammo.
Not recommended to rely on it for any form of defense, so it's usually best as a third caliber. That being said, it's perfectly capable of being lethal with good shot placement, and despite being rimfire there's supposedly good quality and reliable rounds out there nowadays. Works fine for small game hunting in a pinch.
