Ok, I havent been flamed into oblivion in about a week, so Ill comment on
this.
>From everything I ever heard, .22 pistol rounds (_not_ the Long Rifle rounds)
will ricochet of bone. Ie, you can get shot in the forehead and walk away
with a nasty cut. This sometimes gets so ridiculous as to have stories
running around of people getting shot up the nose and having the bullet BOUNCE
around inside his sinuses, before getting stuck. Thus, the idea of a .22
calibre pistol doing a Deadly wound seams, well, a bit unrealistic.

Now, move up a level to .32, and you start getting fractures and stuff, then
one more level, and its leathal. This is in reagards to pistol rounds only of
course.
