>>28299072I shot a 38 special without earpro once, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.
just a POW then EEeeeeEEEE for a minute then it was fine.
I usually don't care about wearing earpro with .22s though.
also, the most fun I have had with a P22 is shooting it sideways with a laser on, so I know im not hitting the ground or some shit.
I got a spot of rust on my mosin once because I didn't properly store it, and I didn't slather it with a light coat of oil like I usually do. After professing my shame to the ghost or sergei mosin, I haven't let anything rust since.
