I genuinely agree. I just don't think the govt should be doing it to it's own people

Of course not. The IRA was not the government though. Also my comment was not referencing any specific instance of knee capping IRA or otherwise, just knee capping in general. I'm sure we can all imagine some far fetched scenario where almost any violent act you can think of would be appropriate. That's my only point.

Mossad took out more than a few bad guys back in the day with suppressed .22LR. Although I doubt it was always a "one and done" kind of thing - more like a quiet mag dump. ;)

No…how it was employed? It was one shot and out of there.

And…you’d be hard pressed to convince me that an integrally suppressed 10/22 would not be the ultimate SHTF rifle.

I'm giving serious consideration to buying one of those suppressed .22 cal air rifles. They have .30 cal. too. Wish I knew someone who had one so I could check it out. They aren't cheap.

Just to clarify, since this thread has taken a murderous turn, I mean to use it for squirrels and strangely enough armadillos, nothing more.
 
If the IDF wanted to ruin people's life, they would be knee-capping them with 7.62mm.

I suspect the IDF was firings on concrete in front of the riot, attempting to make ricochets, to cause less than lethal leg wounds for the described effect. Knee capping probably became a little hyperbole about the tactic.

If, and that is a big if, .22lr hits you in the muscle of the leg and does not open an artery, you'll likely have a minor wound that would take you out of the rioting. I knew a guy, as a teenager was not to smart or mature, that managed to shoot himself in the shin with .22lr playing around with his firearm, while camping. He didn't even bother cutting the camping trip short and instead dug the round out with a knife.

Keeping in mind that poking a hole in anyone carries the risk of death. My take on .22lr, if you shoot to wound, you'll end up killing the person, you shoot to incapacitate, you'll end up just pissing the attacker off....

I'll stick to, never shoot to wound, and use a round that will more likely incapacitate.

That is not a criticism of the IDF, I've been there and spoke and trained with IDF, they are dealing with some total BS of demagoguery and agitation by the surrounding Arabs that hate them simply for being jewish. Riots crop in a moment nearly everywhere. The surrounding Arabs have been raised on lies and blood liables against Jews, it just takes one agitator to whip people up into a frenzy, and they are rioting and attacking a some poor 4 IDF soldiers guarding some warehouse. I can see shooting .22lr ricochets into the crowd hoping to quell the riot and not kill anyone.

I have this kit for my AR-15, I can convert it to .22lr in less than a minute....
That would be an option for IDF, a kit to quickly convert their M-16/M-4 to .22lr, only takes a minute to switch back to 5.56mm.
