I think that is true. I've had OOBs with 10/22, but I think the 10/22 has the bolt weight and spring worked out better.

I don't own a 15-22, but I think Appleseed hasn't treated the issue of injuries on the firing line correctly.
At least in my part of the country, Appleseed doesn't seem to space shooters safely, so shooters are essentially elbow to elbow. Of course, when there is an OOB and people are packed onto a line, the chance of injury increases, but that isn't solely the result of the rifle used.
My misgiving about the 15-22 is the polymer upper. This means that the barrel and sights or optic are attached to one another by a piece of flexible polymer. I'm not a stickler for metal in everything, but the idea of a flexible upper bugs me.
All that said, if I wanted to do something AR-ish in 22lr and keep the budget small, I wouldn't let the Appleseed people dissuade me.
