There is something so wrong with a M4 chambered in .22 and branded as the 'original' item.
If you want to shoot a full-bore rifle, shoot one.
If you want to target practice with .22 rimfire, shoot targets with a .22 rimfire target rifle.

Get shot by one then, let's see how that works out for ya.
Nah, it makes more sense to have one lower receiver with 2 upper receivers - 1 in .22 and the other in .223 so you can switch. Allows for lots of practice with cheap .22 ammo at the local range and get the .223 for big range visits
What is with all the hate? Just showing some Target Shooting 
Well where can you shoot with a full-bore rifle in the UK?
And people often use copy cat rifles to shoot with, its called being more authentic and having some fun
Most rifle clubs, just very rarely semi-auto.
Oh yea lol, I kind of answered my own question earlier lol

It's lethal but I wouldn't say it was as lethal. If you shot someone in the right place with it you'd still kill them but you wouldn't need to be as precise with something bigger.

Yes, because it does what all other bullets do: let blood out and air in.
Either or both are very bad for carbon-based lifeforms.

.22LR is actually the most lethal round used in US shootings. But that's only because the guns are inexpensive and so is the ammo, so many people have them and thats the only reason why most deaths are attributed to the 22lr. But yep its still lethal if shot in the right place.. It'll still travel a few inches into your torso or head !
As far as stopping power, if I had to be shot by a single round, it would be a .22lr.
They sound a bit like a cap gun, going off, compared to larger rounds.
.500 or 3" 12 gauge for example makes a tremendous boom. At the range people look over asking WTF was that whenever one goes off.

Fair enough thanks
I was under the impression the bigger rounds with the added force on impact where not really more lethal just much more likely to stop them in their tracks/knock them down.
That only happens in Hollywood movies unless we're talking .50 machine gun rounds.

This might be a silly question, but is it possible to own an SA80, or are they only made for the military? I know it's possible to get deactivated ones.
Came across something interesting while googling the subject and according to wikipedia the M4's 14" barrel is too short to give the best performance with 5.56mm ammunition. So would that mean the SA80 is the better weapon with its 20" barrel?

Maybe but I'd imagine the type of soldier that carries the regular L85 would carry an M16 if they were American. It's also heavier.
