Wonder what velocity/energy a subsonic .22lr has left at 100 & 150 yards...?
In my own informal test with Remington 38-grain subsonic hp, at 50 yards they penetrated a pine 2x4 and the 3/4" plywood behind it. (Told you it was informal...)
At 60 yards, they'd penetrate the 2x4's, and lodge IN the plywood, so even that additional 10 yards made a difference.
Don't know what it would have left at 100-150 yards. (But no, I wouldn't want to get shot with it, either.)
Absolutely right about the noise level of a suppressed, subsonic .22LR, though. Took a pigeon the other day at 55 yards (55 paces, anyway), and HEARD the bullet hit the bird. Bullet impact was the loudest part of the shot from my perspective; and when you consider that that sound came from over 50 yards away, and the gunshot was almost literally at my ear, that's impressive.
I like this thing a lot... :dgrin:
