      I would expect that the union lawyer won’t mind that evidence is served on a silver platter like this.

          I heard about a guy who did that with a .22, it was way worse than you’d expect. Think he got some compartment problem or something where the wound channel would clog in a bad way and he’d have to massage/push it out himself, at home, in a bathtub.

            I was told that a .22 can be worse than just getting shot with a high caliber because the .22 isn’t likely to make it through bone, so it just ricochets around inside you for a bit instead of passing right through.

                  I’m not sure why you’d consider it large either, it fits trivially in the palm of your hand.

                  Are you maybe imagining that the whole cartridge would be fired? because it’s only the very end bit that actually gets shot, the rest of it is just to hold gunpowder and the bullet in place inside the gun.
                  The actual bullet itself is about the size of a pea, i think.

              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

            people think ‘oh it’s only a .22’ lol. point blank, that bullet’s got places to go and bones to crack on the way.

              Yeah, it’s not exactly an air rifle.

              The bullet is about that size, but the difference is that it’s going through.
