With how the 22lr sounds in game it could be possible to change the hunting pressure when you use the 22lr same with bows that you need 16 kills before it delete zones.
#22lr and Air rifle shots as quiet as bows.

Same with Air rifles

22 and Cyclone could cause 50% hunting pressure, twice that of bows and half that of regular weapons, thus maintaining each one's challenge and reward.

That is a good in-between

22lr and air rifle doesnt delete zones in 3 kills
From 3 to either 5 to 8 would be nice

I agree they should be between a bow & rifle. My reason is they're not suppressed & still have a snap. Plus I own PCP's airguns IRL and .45cal & under should fall in this category. However, .50 & .72cals would be as loud as rifle shots in-game.
If they're suppressed, I'd suggest the same as bows.
