Exactly. I would expect just based on the prevalence of 22lr it would have the highest fatality rate. How many 500 S&W are out there? Probably a pretty small number by comparison. Probably the fatality rate is pretty low for 500 S&W. Yet it would be silly to think that statistic means it's less deadly or effective.
It also astounds me that people are surprised at the fact that people have been killed by .25 or .22.
They're not toy popguns. They may not be the best manstoppers, but they are deadly.
