I just wanted to pick everyone's brains as to what if any application Rimefire weapons have in the real world.
I have seen arguments, both good and atrocious, made that there are certain niches that a .22 or .17hmr could fill.
As far as I can tell there hasn't been a discussion about rimefires on here other than as trainers. I'm not sure if that's because they have already been completely written off but I always heard the only stupid question was the one never asked.
Possible niches I COULD see them having (not saying they are a good option just trying to start some dialog) are: tiny BUG, handgun for weak/disabled individuals (My mother had several surgeries on her wrists prior to retiring and had issues as a result), In restricted states rimefire guns are not subject to assault weapon rules so if one wants an AR that hasn't been physically castrated they can get one in .22.
Thanks in advance for the schooling I'm sure I'm about to get.
