Also, neither are reknown for thier stopping power. Just a fact.

You are right, but both have great killing power

As do forks, knives, pencils, ect.

What I'm trying to say (and I know I didn't point this out clearly; my apologies) is that if he used something like a .45 ACP or a .44 Magnum, there would have been alot more people dead. Alot more.

With a 9mm, a chest shot is not garunteed. Normally, SWAT, when using the 9mm cartridge, uses the "2-1" rule: Two shots to the chest, and one to the head. A .45 ACP shot to the chest will put you down. Down hard. And a .22? Forget about a chest shot. You'd have to get lucky and hit a vital organ like the heart if you want to stop someone. Supposedly, he used the .22 to shoot only himself, which makes sence. Use the more powerful to kill more, and leave the weak to yourself, as it might not even work.
