    My dad and I used to go out and shoot at popcans with a .22. We got so good at it, and we were hitting the cans from so far away, that the bullets were just denting the cans (filled with water!). I can seriously appreciate this shooting.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    I had a pretentious response, but then I wondered at what distance a .22 would dent a can filled with water.

    So, at what distance does a .22 dent a can filled with water?

    I wouldn't imagine it would be nearly as far as you guys are thinking. An open can with water is going to a lot harder to piece than say a open empty can or a full closed can.

    Right but a .22 is moving at quite a clip and is generally designed to pierce things. Aluminum (plus other stuff) tends to have a pretty decent give before actually giving, so I think it's an interesting question to know the actual answer to.

    Ya, I'd like to know the answer too, just was trying to offer some perspective for the curious.
