Not sure if serious? Haha

But, popular opinion would tell you no.

Too light of a load, too slow to fire, rifles are hard to maneuver in halls and doorways.

I have a short barreled pump shotgun loaded with buckshot.

Could also use a full sized handgun.. loaded with 9mm at a minimum

The .22 is too light a load, right?

I would suspect the thousands in cemeteries put there by the lowly .22 might beg to differ.
