We've tried them and from our experience, they suck if you're shooting from any distance further than 20 ft. Might as well throw rocks at them if they're further away than that.
I use a good quality air rifle.

I use Aquila .22 super calibri powderless .22 long rifle ammo, made in mexico. i use it in a single shot rifle and all you can hear is the firing pin hitting the round.
they are gass charged and it's like a super pellit gun.
the single shot rifle has to be cleaned often tho.
I've made shots out to 50 yards with this round with a 4 x scope on my old rifle.
They wont chamber rounds in a semi auto, not enough power.
You have to zero your rifle for this round and Only shoot these rounds in that dedicated rifle.
I buy them at my local hardware store and most gun shop's handle them.
at least here in Missouri they do.

Agree with Jack. Your gun must be zeroed to this ammo at the distance you will be shooting or they will not be effective. I did this and they were effective. I've since purchased an RWS air rifle.

I use the remington 22 long sub sonic round. It makes a crack when fired but nothing like a regular 22 round. I have had very good accuracy with it and it will filter through a semi auto rifle.
That being said I like the idea of the powderless ammo mentioned here. I may try looking for it and trying it. Can't hurt and sounds like it is totally quiet.

I have use CCI CB shorts, rarely miss even out a 30 yards and beyond. Don't think the CB loads are not powerful! shorts or longs, they will kill about anything you shoot at if you hit in a vital spot except maybe big game. these loads are just little slower than a .22 Rem. short. So be aware whats behind where the barrel is pointing!
I tried Aquila .22 super calibri ammo years ago unless their quality has improved 300% for me they are a waste unless your shooting with in 10 yards, some dropped off even at that range, and some verily make it out of the barrel.
As with any rifle you have to be able to hit what your aiming at based on your technique, equipment, and dialing in at the range your shooting. some can use a sling shot while others have to have a shotgun
and yes some can use rocks
