What is intratec tec22?

The Intratec Tec-22 is a semi-automatic firearm designed and produced by Intratec from 1986 to 2001. It is a blowback-operated firearm that fires from a closed bolt. The Tec-22 is chambered for .22 Long Rifle and is fed by a detachable box magazine with capacities of 10, 22, or 32 rounds. The gun features an open iron sight set on a raised rear sight that is adjustable for windage and elevation. The Tec-22 is known for its unique appearance, resembling a machine pistol with its elongated barrel shroud and overall design. It was primarily marketed as a sporting gun for plinking and target shooting. However, due to its compact size and semi-automatic operation, it has also been used in criminal activities. The Tec-22 has since been discontinued and has gained a reputation as a low-quality firearm that is prone to malfunctions.
