Aguila Super Colibri 22 Long Rifle 20 Grain Lead Solid Point Ammunition

Muzzle Velocity: 500 feet per second
Muzzle Energy: 11 ft. lbs

Aguila Super Colibri Armmunition has no powder, relying on only the primer to propel the bullet down the bore. The result is an extremely quiet rimfire round, perfect for close-range pest control or quiet plinking.

WARNING: These rounds are powered by the rimfire primer only. They must only be fired in handguns. If fired in rifles, the bullet may remain lodged in the barrel.


I’ve fired it and still have quite a bit of the stuff, which I use when I don’t want noise. It’s quiet and doesn’t penetrate nearly as well as standard velocity or high velocity. I wouldn’t bet my life on it bouncing, and I’m more than a little skeptical on anyone having seen it if the coat was on a person, but it just might bounce, especially if fired from a rifle.

I recently bought alot of the Colibri...have been firing it at an indoor range. A friend with a silencer tried some out...you hear the hammer more than you hear the bullet. Very quiet stuff. Also, anectdotally, after shooting some boards and just firing it into the ground...I consider it very deadly up to 25 yards. Amazing really.

My old Remington -- model 510 p single shot bolt action handles these rounds just fine.
