   I think the ammo you refer to is Aguila's Colibri.  It's
a 20 gr. .22 bullet in a case with no powder.  The primer
pushes the bullet down the barrel.  It is for handguns only,
but they make a Super Colibri that is intended for rifles.
The "Subsonic" is Aguila's SSS (Sub Sonic Sniper).  It is the
length of a .22LR round but the case is only as long as a
.22 short.  The 60 gr. bullet takes up the difference.  It is
intended for rifles only and is much quieter than a standard
velocity .22LR.

   I don't care what people use to protect the fruit of El
Grande, as long as they can live with it and don't endanger
any humans in the process (politicians EXCLUDED).
