Ever since their beginnings in 1948, the Israeli Defense Force has had to think outside the box to come up with weapon's systems, therefore it shouldn't surprise you that for the past 20 years the Israelis have used a (much-modified) 10/22 for use in both special operations and in security operations.

According to Wikipedia, the Israeli military used 22lr for riot control in the 90s. I bet they used Ruger 10/22s.

All described in the article, and the rifles in the photos are 10/22s modified with bull barrels. Last month their AG authorized their use against rock throwers in East Jerusalem.

Im sure that will teach them rioters. I wonder how much property is saved using them 22s vs tear gas and megaphones.

When I saw those barrels in the pictures I thought they were suppressed, and the article confirms that too.

These Rugers probably qualify as more than just plinkers!
