A look at 22LR Ballistics with ammo info and a ballistic chart containing muzzle velocity, trajectory and more information about this popular caliber.

Incredibly easy to shoot and immensely popular, let’s take a look at 22LR Ballistics and all this round is capable of.

22 Long Rifle Summary:
The most popular cartridge in the world, the 22 Long Rifle is perfect for target shooting, plinking, and varmint hunting.
Accurate, low recoil, quiet, and can cost less than five cents per round.
Offers subsonic and supersonic muzzle velocities.
Considered inadequate for taking game as large as coyote. Not ideal for self-defense by any measure, but better than nothing at all!


Chart on link shows drop rates of 3-3.5 inches at 100 yards while Google Maps shows approximately 158 yards distance to target. It's a conservative estimate of 3.75-inch drop at 150 yards and windage has barely been discussed or factored in.

Respectfully at 175 yards man-sized target is tiny, it would be a miracle for an untrained shooter to come close



Well ... he was an untrained shooter and he came close.
Within 2 millimeters of blowing out Trumps brains.


Im not saying suggesting the shot is impossible FlyersFan, just the circumstances of a rushed troubled 20 year old with a history of being bullied, kicked out of the rifle club in high school because he was awful, 2 years later climbing up on a hot roof crawling approximate 40 feet zeroing in on DJT from a site one can assume he has never scoped out before, while people are screaming "Man of the roof" and a cop climbs up the ladder after him Crooks allegedly turns and aims the AR at the cop who retreated, Crooks then rushed turned back reacquired the target factored in drop and windage and got off 3-4 hurried shots before the Government sniper(s) took him out.

Is that a fair or unfair representation based on what is floating around from various sources?

If so it seems lucky AF

If it's a set-up, or staged, then could it really be down to just one person? It's hard to believe that Trump's immediate detail would ignore the unfolding events to the extent they appear to. Surely anyone on the SS around Trump had plenty of opportunity to suss that something was afoot and it's time to 'secure the package', as they say in Hollywood. Is there a leader who's orders to 'do nothing' they must obey regardless of what see, or hear going down around them? If so then that person is surely the first port of call; Who told them to give the shooter a chance?

Ben Shapiro said it has to do with their modus aperandi. They are not allowed to shoot before a potential shooter shoots in the off chance its someone with a telescope or another police unit.. not sure if true. But i can definitely imagine they at least have to check if its not one of their guys or an innocent person. Which takes time.


Are they not allowed to remove the ex-president from the stage until the shooter has fired either?

They should have and since this was not the best of the USS details available seems to be obvious at this point. Keystone cops looking there at one point the SS officers looked POORLY TRAINED and we saw DEI hires in there too. You can't make this stuff up it is happening in real time too often.

The Secret Service was so bad for Trump, when Biden finally offered it to RFKjr Robert said No Im good.

How can I put this

It seemed like not everybody knew what to do, and most of those may or may not identify as women. It's not that women can't be Secret Service but get ones who are better trained and perhaps taller and more physical, if they are going to try and cover the President.

It's a damn unique AF job and it takes unique as hell people to perform it, Id imagine much like the military some can ace all the tests pass all the physical grades, and still "lose it" in a real-world scenario.

we can be proud of the Secret Service and still realize that was a complete cluster----

I notice everyone’s pointing there finger at the ss or local police, or even just claiming it must’ve been an inside job. But has anyone actually considered how risky it was for Trump to be doing these large rallies out in these open spaces?

There’s just no possible way to fully secure open venues like that. It didn’t even have to be a sniper on a nearby factory roof, could’ve just of easily been someone jumping the fence with a concealed weapon to avoid the metal detectors.

Probably wouldn’t be an issue for any regular politician running for President. But Donald Trump is an ex-President, incredibly controversial and probably one of the most famous people on earth.

Seems to me Trump and his team for whatever reason got complacent and didn’t want to fork out for appropriately secure venues. Maybe it was just a matter of time before some crazy person tried something stupid.

No need for some big conspiracy against Trump.

As the canadian sniper said... take any 10 yr old COD player and ask them to point out the danger areas and they would point to the elevated positions.

SS screwed up... Then the head of the SS screwed up more saying there wasnt a team on the roof there because the roof was sloped when even the worst mouth breathers can see the counter sniper team behind trump on a sloped roof.

This is 100% on the SS, it never should have happened, they were looking for a suspicious person and never should have let trump on stage, then when the guy (assuming it was reported) was seen on the roof they should have been removed till they could verify friend or foe.

Yeah but the reality is that the ss don’t have unlimited resources to protect Trump, his not even the President.

Why should local LEO and the ss be blamed for Trumps choice to do these rallies in these open spaces that would need a small army to fully secure?

Exactly, he doesn’t pay, the tax payer does.

Yea and when 3 high profile people are in the same area at the same time, why exactly do you not bring more resources from an area where not much is going on.

VP and first lady were in the area, so trump got the newbies or other agency people, and it just so happened to be the day someone took a shot.

interesting that, I would be curious to see who had the date in this area circled first... but to turn away from tin foil hat stuff if you are short on resources you bring more in.

especially when 1 of the people is running for president and the media has done their best to portray him as worse than hitler. Of the three he was always going to be the most likely to have an event occur.

At worse his just like Hitler, at best his just incredibly cheap.

Honestly, I saw this coming from a mile away. He did that rally in Las Vegas where people were passing out in 108 degree weather. It’s like why not just do these rallies in an indoor venue?

It obviously all came down to cost and that’s all on Trump.

That is not even kind of True .

This is the Secret Service we are talking about . They can blow your brains out if you're holding a 'Pringles Can' and they deem it a threat .



Dont shoot the messenger, I just brought it up for discussion. Was curious what you guys thought about that.

Not getting the President off the stage; even if they didn't shoot - that part bugs me.

Standing Trump up less than a minute after getting shot also bugs me. How could they know there wasn't two shooters?

I still think there was a very real possibility of some type of secret tech. Either a bullet proof facemask or an invisible force field.
