    Unless it's a bounce back the general rule is a 30deg cone either side of the impact point or thereabouts. The saving grace is a lot of the energy dumps on the first hit, and tumbling the projectiles just don't travel at all in some cases won't even get 100ft before they crash back down with a thump.
    Yes it was very scary the first time it ricocheted. I thought it was a meme the ricochet sound but it's true!

Made by Gunworks. Legendary wee gun and oh so much fun. Way better than an air rifle for the same money. I wont use a 22 anywhere near houses now. Too much risk.
    There's a guy in Whangarei who makes a suppressed 410 as well. Incredibly quiet, less noise than my pcp. They cost around $1k.

    personally have stopped using .22 on smaller lifestyle blocks, those bullets end up some funny places at times. .17hmr or 12g (sp36 No4's)if the surrounding area is ok with the noise have become my new go to's. I have written at length before about my love affair with my gunworks suppressed .410 shotgun with subsonic ammo for pest control if noise is a issue.

    Was it expensive to get the suppressor. 410s are so cheap it sounds like great fun!

    the gun with the can was aprox $700 from gunworks a long time ago, no idea what current pricing is- maybe give them a call/email

    I have a red dot on it and treat it more like a short range rifle, don't use a ton of ammo as hand loading .410 ammo is not fun. If I knew of a commercial subsonic .410 brand that was available I wouldn't bother reloading

    Yep, as @hotbarrels said, watch for ricochets - 22 bullets will bounce off almost anything, even hard dirt.

    not cheeky at all, unfortunitly I haven't loaded a batch for a couple of years so can't remember off the top of my head and am currently on the other side of the world from my load data. Ill try and remember once this lock down is over for you

    The Gunworks Yildiz is great. About $700. I just use factory ammo. Not subsonic. Still very quiet. They recommend only several brands as some can shed the wad inside the suppressor. Stick with what they recommend and no problem.

    If it's what it sounds ( a perforated barrel right the way along), it'll be subsonic when it exits the barrel. Exactly the same as my 10-22 of the same design, it just gets fed HV ammo.
