Here is how to do it. Put the .22 round in sabots and mount the result in a .50 cal cartridge. Rechamber the rifle so it will accept the .50 cal cartridge and plink away. The effective range goes up to about 1000 yards and is useful against lightly armored vehicles out to 200 yards.

That is what they are thinking of!

Was thinking along these lines but who has the machinery and skill to do so? Not many really and there's few machinists that would consider doing this for a kid with his new 22. May as well just buy a fifty cal and some high grain ammo and be done with it. But I'm not much a rifle junky anymore so maybe it would be cheaper your way.

Once again Bloomberg is full of spit and talks a good UN line but really is not a gansta with his mach 10 and 9mm handgun more of a problem killing people than some kid with a 22 considering some anarchy blowing up a transformer and watching all the pretty sparks before the lights go out? You'd THINK this guy would consider the incredible amount of illegal weaponry from gangs more so than some kid that's more prone to killing a few critters, bottles and cans.

signed old fogy that had a 22 back when
