Aguila 22LR Ammunition Quiet Super Colibri

Ok I've seen this stuff around but never really looked into it. The guy who sold me six rifles dumped all his ammo on me. All these little boxes plus a couple bricks.
Then I noticed the Colibri boxes said "No gunpowder? Call me dumb but I'm not sure how that works.
Is it kinda like the little Floberts that just have a primer? Black Magic? I dunno. I can understand Floberts since they are so small but a long rifle?

Yes, it’s just the primer. I’ve used them, they are useful at fairly short range (50 feet), but aren’t very accurate after that.

I have used them to shoot pigeons inside barns/sheds.

Yeah, that was my understanding. Primer only. They're mostly for close-range pest control and target shooting with 'gallery guns' - look, parlor games were different in the Victorian era. Of course, if you were looking to assassinate someone at short range - a knife would probably work better.

I love those little Colibri rounds! Really quiet, which makes them perfect for backyard pest control when you live in a somewhat urban environment. They are pretty fun out of a Blackhawk Single Six for plinking at squirrels, and they make a good training round for kids who might be offput by the report of a .22 when first learning to shoot. Really they are the only Aguila ammo I like, though, since everything else they make tends to be incredibly dirty.
