They are pretty tough and I would not use a .22 unless I had to. As for the rabies issue, that's the first thing I thought of. I hope whomever moved the corpse gloved up first, closed the corpse in a plastic bag before putting it in the trash can or whatever else you did with it, and washed really well after the process.
