About
What it is, and why it matters
The Spike's Tactical ST-22 is a dedicated .22 Long Rifle AR-15 built around a 16-inch Lothar Walther match-grade barrel and a drop-in rimfire bolt, rather than a conversion kit. It follows a standard M4 layout with a flat-top receiver, telescoping stock, and Black Dog 25-round magazine, marketed as an affordable trainer. Spike's Tactical is a Florida-based AR-15 manufacturer founded in 2001, known for its Spider lower receivers, cold hammer forged barrels, and themed engraved builds.
A 'Zombie Killer' themed ST-22 variant was offered during the AR-15 zombie marketing craze of the early 2010s.
MSRP: $650.00. Muzzle device: Threaded 1/2x28.

What the round does downrange

No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
