Please settle a agruement with this kid
What would kill a human faster
.22
or
.45
he says the .22 bounces around the body and I no it doesnt...
I say the .45 holopoint would do more damage than a .22
You know you have to be 18 to post here, right?
I call people kid is that a problem?
It's so early.
Mom and dad dropped the kids off at day/k/are so damn early

Tell the kid he's a faggot, then suck his dick cuz you're a faggot.
>I know it's a bait thread.
The only true. 22 caliber commonly available is 5.45x39, which indeed was known for tumbling wildly in the body.
But then again .45-70 is a hell of a drug.

OP go conduct a field test. Get two of your friends and shot them with each respective caliber. Post results.

Trick question, holographic rounds can't kill anything.
The .22 because it is half as big and therefor has half as much drag and can go twice as fast.
"Bounces around the body" what the fuck. If it doesn't have enough energy to pierce straight through the body like the anecdotes of .223 slotting floppies in Mogadishu, then it sure as fuck won't be "rattling around."

Satan checked.

Thank you! You proven my point!
Please learn math and physics.
Kenetic energy delivered on target is
Half of Mass (size/grain of bullet) multipled by velocity squared.
KE=1/2M*V^2
So right off the bat we know velocity mean a shit load more than mass
Assuming barrel length is the same
(Not that it matters much in this case) at 5" barrel
So 22 LR
36gr JHP at 1009 fps
Energy 104
Vs
45 auto
185gr JHP at 1002fps
Energy 410
Bullets typically dont richocet or bounce in the body.
the 223 doesnt do this either. The 223 goes a shitload faster than thr 22lr, 3,000fps . It frags inside the body but all projectiles continue moving in the same direction forward. Just at new angles.
4 things kill: energy, penatration, temporary wound cavity, permenamt wound cavity.
Other than that its strictly: shot placement , blood loss, victim threshold, victim state of mind

There's a small glimmer of truth to the 22 bounce myth, actually. Since it's so low in energy it can be easily deflected by bone, I recall one story of a cop who was paralyzed from the waist down after a .22 deflected off of a rib and lodged itself in his spinal cord. But this is just a small shift in the ballistic trajectory, not a pinball machine.
