I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen this actually play out with civilian thugs in real life. They're looking for easy targets. They're not on suicide missions. You shoot a thug in the shoulder, sure he might continue the attack. You shoot the thug in the chest I don't think so.
For me, the biggest issue with .22 is reliability, not stopping power.

Real bad guys arent afraid of getting shot. Why do so many think that a bad guy will pee his pants at the sight of a gun & certsinly give up if hit with eben a 22lr?
I assume my attacker will want to fight regardless of my defense. So I carry something that is more likely to stop a fight with 1-2 high COM hits. There really is no reason to dabble with even remotely unreliable small caliber mouse guns.
