On the lighter side! I have been looking at the ballistics and stopping power of a 22 magnum revolver. Way back when we used a 22LR as a "hush puppy" round. 22 Mag has been around since 1935 and has surprising penetration. Nice round for a female to use for protection.

.22 does nasty things in the body. Since it does not have a lot of impact force it tends to bounce off of bones and even organs as it tumbles tail over head inside the body. It can be much more deadly than a large caliber at close range.

A well placed shot of any caliber is deadly.
