22lr is definitely a caliber to have if civilization fails..22 LR will dominate this. Kind of wish .22 short was more common and popular. It would be fun to use for shooting parlors like they used to do. Though I think 9mm flobert was the more popular cartridge for that.
Well thankfully, unless it’s an auto, a lot of 22s will fire shorts, longs, and long rifles. This includes the current 22 Henry lever gun..22 LR will dominate this.

The problem is less the guns, as you said unless it’s semi auto, it should be able to shoot it. But it’s hard to find and more expensive when you do. Also wish Aguila would make more super colibri ammo. That stuff is a lot of fun. I got away with a lot of target practice when I was younger and living in a more populated area with aguila super colibris and a bolt action rifle. Stuff sounds like a low power BB gun going off but will still knock over a soda can at 20-25 yards while easily being stopped byWell thankfully, unless it’s an auto, a lot of 22s will fire shorts, longs, and long rifles.

That said there is a somewhat easy to find 22 short automatic pistol made be Beretta you can find. The 950BS.
I keep shorts and longs around just for the heck of it.
