I don't know Max Brooks. And I agree about small game, but if you need to shoot people, it may not be you that screwed up. Defense is always optional, but the alternative sucks. The .22 will feed you, within reason (can't take a deer), you can have 2000 rounds of ammo in the space it takes to store one MRE, and if you are clever, you can use a little gun to get a bigger gun, see "liberator pistol".
Two of the guns I don't have but want are .22s. I want a .22 pump action rifle, and a .22 revolver. The pump would be fun to shoot if I lived in a place where I could just toss some reactive targets downrange and shoot a while, and the revolver is a great teaching gun. As it is, when I teach shooting, I have to use a 9mm or rent a .22 semi-auto.
