You might think bigger calibers are more fun, and in some ways you'd be right, but the marginal fun increase from grug like throw big rock is substantially less than the decrease as you start thinking of your meals/gas/etc in terms of magazines and realize just how expensive it really is. .22 may not be exciting to shoot, but it's fun, and it's pretty much the only caliber that anyone can shoot with little to no thought about how much it's costing them. Even if you're into big calibers, you'll have more fun shooting small ones and not worrying about it. I wouldn't recommend a non-22 first gun unless you intend to carry it. <|endoftext|>
