  1. I'm a newbie. Why does a .22 bounce

    around when others don't?

    Ricochets would be a better term. Its does not have the velocity to exit but has too much velocity to stop, hows that? A 22 is a small and lite bullet and will ricochet off your innerards doing a ton of internal damage. The last one I took in got shot in his left shoulder and xrays found half of the bullet in his stomach and the other half in his right Femoral artery.

  2. Since the search button eludes people, I'll help.......

  3. That's as inaccurate as saying a .22 won't kill you. A .38 hollow point will make a little hole going in and a hole the size of your fist if it exits.

    Ok, I'll try to answer this without sounding smug.

    1) I said "usually"

    2) I speak from exp, both from being shot 3 times and treating GSW on a regular basis

    3) Most others speak based on hearsay and movies.

    You are right in theroy on the entrance and exit holes. Yes you are right. The exit hole however is "usually" just a flesh wound. Internal trauma is the killer not the flesh wound, thus you would want a fragmenting round or a 22.

    The other reason that I said usually in the statement you quoted is because rarely does anyone get shot with a defensive round or hollow point. All crime related shootings I have ever handled are ALWAYS yes ALWAYS the cheapest fmj round the perp could get his hands on. Bad guys dont waste money on expensive ammo. So the big rounds "usually" go straight thru and cause little damage. Thats why gang bangers and the like "usually" survive thier shootings. The even cheaper perps that have nothing to prove and dont care that they carry a little 22...thier vics "usually" die from massive internal damage and internal bleeding due to the round tumbling around in the body.

    So, is a 45 loaded with Hornaday rounds deadly? Hell yes.

    Does anyone ever get shot with that? Very rarely.

    Two lowlifes in the street getting ready to shoot me and one has a 22 and the other has a 9...I hope to get shot with the 9. Your milage may vary, mine is from personal exp.

  4. i stand corrected. i'd just always heard anything smaller than a .380 for self dense was fairly worthless.

    Prolly heard that from someone who thinks anything other than a 1911 is useless too. Bigger caliber rounds usually go straight thru and cause little damage unless they hit vital organs. I can treat those wounds in the squad on the way to the er, no big deal. Stop bleeding and treat for shock, start an IV for fluids all good. 22 bounces around making Swiss cheese out of your insides and causing massive internal bleeding. Not shit I can do for you but rush you to surgery and hope you don't bleed out first. Don't listen to dipshits that insist on 45.
