Rachen,
That's why the Israeli Air Marshals carry and are trained to use Beretta tip up semi-autos that are loaded with .22 shorts and to aim for the head of any terrorist that would hijack an Israeli jetliner.
I imagine that the Air Marshals are probably trained to fire as many accurate shots as possible in rapid succession.
With proper training and accurate shooting then even the lowly .22 short rimfire round can be an effective man stopper. Rata tata tata tatat!
