    It's primarily a question of noise vs. range. 22LR suppressed firing subsonic rounds is silent. Experienced hands use it to 100 metres plus, but personally I think it best to 75 metres. .17HMR/supersonic is obviously louder, but has more range. Easily 200 metres in the right hands. Note that it is very susceptible to wind deflection as the projectile is relatively light.
