.22 LR is easily one of the most underrated rounds. There aren't many, if any, living things on earth that a .22 couldn't kill.
That is true. I think the issue is how quickly will it kill the intended target...
Lots of examples of good and bad results. One of the more public ones was President Reagan... shot under the arm, went into the chest cavity, and he was up speaking in public what, the next day? That's good medical treatment. If he hadn't been treated, he would likely have died... eventually.
A 35-40 gr chunk of soft lead going 1100-1200 fps will cause some damage.
