I’m no firearms buff, I though .22 rifles are good for squirrels and such likes? Relative to the size of the target, .22 is a pretty big calibre I’d think.

.22 is also the caliber of the vast majority of infantry weapons in the world.

In 22lr (the piddly little gun most kids learn to shoot on where I love) it’s enough for small game like a squirrel.

In 5.56x45 (NATO) or 5.45x39 (Russia) it’s suitable for larger game like humans or deer.
