Excellent accuracy and velocity in a true ultra-quiet plinking Round! Quiet-22(TM) is about as loud as standard air rifle ammo, but offers much better downrange performance. It's perfect for legal shooting areas where noise may be a concern, and makes a great "soft" introduction for the young shooter. And this round is great for shooters using bolt-actions or single-shot rifles (but is perfectly safe in semi-automatics, though it might not entirely cycle the action). So save your ears... 68dB @ your ear - up to 75% quieter in perceived noise vs. standard .22 LR rounds...get Quiet-22 Ammo and ditch the muffs.
