>Would the 10/22 (or any rimfire for that matter), be good enough for home/self defense?
People hit with a small caliber round (.22/.25/.32) are twice as likely to survive as those hit with a medium caliber round (.380/.38/9mm) and four times as likely to survive compared to large caliber rounds (mostly .357/.40/.45 with a couple of statistically insignificant .44s and a single 7.62x39 fatality during the study period), The actual numbers would look even worse if you isolated for .22, the kill count of the 'small caliber' category was carried by .32.
If .22 looks anemic vs 9mm then I'm confident it'd look even worse compared to 5.56
If someone is threatening my life then I want to disable them as quickly as possible. The evidence makes it pretty fucking clear .22 is not the best tool for that job.
