I think I know the answer but I saw on another post
" all the preppers buy 22lr first"
Anyway I think that is how it was put, so why do they buy that round?

probably because it is cheap, light and you can carry a ton of it with you. you can kill a deer with a .22 if you have to, but it will also not blow up a rabbit or a squirrel, so you can shoot them too.

my guess would be cheap ammo and if i needed one gun to survive it would be a 22. you can hunt anything with it.

This rifle is a specialized rifle for a specialized mission that not all tactical teams require. But, the availability of such a tool may open the eyes of those teams that have not thought about the possibilities. For its intended mission, the rifle is fantastic, and not many people realize the level of expertise that Tactical Operations has in building suppressors. I have fired their .308, 22, 9mm and 223 suppressors of various varieties, and they have all been excellent. They even have suppressors for .50 BMG and 12g shotguns. If your team has need for a means to take out lights and guard dogs undetected, you should take a very serious look at the Green Hornet.

What I thought, I guess I think more of the world end guys think in terms of civil war( I know nothing about this) but I guess they think interns of heading to the hills and sustaining without combat....

if all hello breaks loose, you can find .22 ammo in 8 out of 10 homes in the rural community, just saying
