The thing about bullets is it really depends on where and what they hit any round no matter how powerful wont do much damage if it goes through and through and hits nothing along they way soldiers have taken that kind of hit many times over the years and in some cases they just kept right on fighting.Other times they where out for a few days.

Then a tiny .22 bullet kills many people an ex police officer once told me that more people die from .22s than from any other type of round in the US (or at least this was the case when he was a homicide cop) he said the main reason was because most guns are fired at their victims at very close range at very close range the .22 can basically travel through a persons flesh like a pin ball thanks to its low weight but high velocity.

One should never underestimate what a .22 round can do to a person.
