I havent read all the threads, but years ago I worked with a friend that was retired from the indiapolis pd as a homicide lt. He said the .22 was a nasty cartridge to get hit with as they usualy rickoshayed from rib to rib every direction. On the other hand he said his partner got hit with a .22 and they took him to the hospital and they ended up putting just a band aid on the entrance and exit wounds and sent him home as the bullet never hit a bone and no damage was done!
