honestly - if you use a .22 you will get plenty of chance for misfires, fail to eject, fail to load, and extracting stuck shells

You're not going to do much long work with a .22 for obvious reasons but dedicated uppers are great for up-close training. Transition drills, controlled pairs, getting on the sights and hitting a few controlled pair, etc. Get some cheap steel from TACCOM and beat the snot out of them. CM |

I have fired over 4000 rounds in the last month through my Spikes Tactical .22 AR and have only had 3 malfunctions. I use CCI blazer. |

I'll be releasing a video soon that acutally addresses this question. |

My Nordic upper runs flawless with blazer and mini mag ammo. If I try the cheapo AE or Winchester it will malfunction at least once or twice a mag.

I am going to assume the OP is asking for manipulation and shooting drills not tap, rack, bang drills. .22's are to dainty for clearance drills. I use my Nordic Components NC22 upper to practice shooting on the move out to about 25 yards. Setup some barrels or cones and 3-5 targets and walk around the obstacles while staying low shooting while moving.
I do a lot of first shot drills from low ready, port arms, standing to prone, prone to standing, standing to sitting, standing to reverse kneeling, up/downs (2 shots standing, 2 shots kneeling, 2 shots seated, 2 shots prone then revers back up to standing), I also like to run drills Shootibg 4-5" steel at 50 yards from any weird position I can think of including hanging up side down. I also work on getting into position around the edge of a wall or at a fault line. Run hard and slow down quick all while having the gun up on target ready to shoot the second you see the target around/behind the obstacle. Also work on strong to weak side transitions along with some weak side traditional position shooting. Just kidding about hanging upside down. I haven't done it but I will eventually. |

I do all my cqb drills with my Spikes ST-22. I only use my real three gun rifle for shooting past 100 yards in practice so I am not wearing my barrel out prematurely. I have done some simple drills comparing my 22 to my 5.56 up close and there is very little difference in the times so I feel its good training.
