The distinction was made earlier about using a single shot vs a magazine fed rifle. I think the biggest reason the single shot has been endorsed by the BSA and others is the number of kids in a class (mine had 7-10, if I remember right). It's much easier to maintain a safe range when each shot has to be loaded individually.
That said, if someone is doing one on one work, then I think a mag fed 22 would be perfect.
