Don't be insulted but did you read that posting? It is pretty interesting.
World English Dictionary
lethal (ˈliːθəl)
— adj
1. able to cause or causing death
So the question is, is the .22 "able" to cause death at that range?
Based on that one guys experiment I'd say yes. Not that I'd choose a .22 for that far of a shot or to kill anything at that range. I just thought that his findings were interesting and bringing of a new respect for the round.
