[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 3124864, member: 7157"] Perplexed’s GF here. In my experience (limited). Even a .22 can kill. My buddy was a coroner for a while and i got to listen to some interesting stories and tag along to an autopsy or three. One dude was a doper who happened to hit on his doper buddies gf. Well, he was passed out on the couch and the buddy shot him, point blank, right below the ear. A very interesting thing happened. The blowback under the skin from the muzzle blast expanded the skin, made a sort of gas filled balloon that slowed the velocity of the bullet enough that it shattered when it hit the skull and traveled around to the back of his head and upper spine. What killed him was the second shot. He had jumped up and ran outside after the first, doper #2 yelled at him and as he lifted his arm to defend, the second shot hit between his ribs and made a few laps around his liver, ending up in his spleen causing him to quickly collapse and bleed out into his body cavity. The entrance wound was minimal on both shots except for the blackened skin around the first from the close range. We never recovered the fragments from shot #1 but retrieved the majority of #2. Seeing the damage, when we opened up the chast cavity, from that itty bitty bullet made an impression that wont be soon forgotten. [/QUOTE]
