The Aguila Colibri 22LR delivers ultra-quiet performance for precision shooting applications where noise reduction is critical. This specialized subsonic ammunition generates minimal report while maintaining reliable cycling in most firearms. Powder-free design relies on primer ignition alone for consistent, low-velocity performance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 22LR cartridges that rely on powder charges, the Colibri uses primer-only ignition to achieve subsonic velocities around 420 fps. This unique propellant system produces significantly less noise than conventional rimfire ammunition while delivering adequate energy for small game and target shooting. The 20-grain solid lead projectile provides stable flight characteristics at reduced velocities.
Key Features
- Primer-only ignition system eliminates powder charge for ultra-quiet operation
- 20-grain solid lead bullet optimized for subsonic performance
- Velocity approximately 420 fps for minimal noise signature
- Reliable ignition in bolt-action and single-shot firearms
- Brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- 50 rounds per box for extended shooting sessions
- Compatible with standard 22LR chamber dimensions
The Colibri excels in situations requiring discretion, such as pest control in suburban areas or indoor training facilities. Its low velocity makes it ideal for short-range target practice and small game hunting within 25 yards. The reduced recoil and muzzle blast help new shooters develop proper fundamentals without flinching. Semi-automatic firearms may experience cycling issues due to the low energy output.
