What does the army want with 22 rifles?

What does the army want with 22 rifles?

Quite common- it's far cheaper to use .22 ammo to hone shooting skills and they do not need the range facilities of full bore weapons. Also quite common for target shooting.

 

The British SLR and Canadian version of the FN had .22 sub calibre kits (as opposed to separate rifles in this case) that could be fitted for training.

Trouble for the falang ,   me thinks.
