I've seen a few folks shot with the .22lr. It's no toy... Any round can deflect off of bone depending on the angle and density of the bone (According to an ME I knew) That myth that the Mafia use .22's to assasinate is in my opinion just a myth. I've worked a few dump jobs... cant remember ever seeing a .22 used. I kind of think that they use what ever is at hand...
