I have great respect for the .22. The results in performance on that target at 300 yards is even more impressive than I would have thought. The .22 is my weapon of choice for putting down elk, deer and much small critters at close range, especially in town. Further out I switch to the .308.
This however shows that this little round continues to pack a punch out quite a bit further. I wouldn't rely on it for that, but it does add some perspective. I was also involved in a barricade situation a few years ago now. The suspect was armed with a Marlin .22. Our perimeter was between 100 and 120 yards from him. It ended peacefully, but he could have done some damage.
