Guess it doesn’t really matter the caliber if either of those zip through your heart, or aorta. You’ll bleed out either way.

Okay §m£ÂgØL, you've worked in an ER and shot .22 pistols with hollow points in your days as para military commando for the mexican cartel. You have over 300 ways of killing me and that's just with your bare hands. In fact you're so hardcore you just sew stab wounds shut, your internal organs can't bleed out because you've replaced all your blood with super fast coagulating salsa. I am sorry to have doubted you.

Too lazy to look up the shorthand code but just imagine this post to be a 'rolls eyes' emoji.

.22 is about as lethal as the rest of them as the bullet tends to break apart inside the body and small shrapnel gets into arteries and stuff that a more powerful caliber would just go all the way through, or maybe it was that it breaks bones into very small pieces that do the same.. I can't remember but it being small is not that big of a difference.
But shooting one does make you a faggot.

It's not the size that counts. It's the muzzle velocity and the mass.

The size of the bullet DOES matter, as you are destroying a larger amount of tissue, and some of that vital tissue could be missed by a smaller round, a la my old or my dad's .22 vs my 30-06 or 9mm, the larger bullet is obviously making a way bigger hole and that bigger hole has a better shot of hitting an artery or some vital organ, as when I shoot a raccoon (I wasn't being serious prior, god that was autty, I make autty jokes sometimes) with a .22 you see the bullet entrance and exit holes which are pretty clean usually, vs when I shoot with an .06, their entire fucking bodies explode and their intestines make a coat over their pelts every single time. One time I shot a pregnant opossum or coon or something and the baby got a projectile abortion and I'll be honest, it was pretty fucking gross.
Now obviously this has way more to do with the force and grains (whatever, close enough to the same thing) of the guns being starkly different, but the bullet size does play a lot bigger role than you may otherwise think. I guess the 9 may have been a better example but I haven't killed anything with it that I recall.
But anyway, that's also a great point because the grains have a shitload to do with it. .22 has very small amount of grains and therfor power, .30-06 has loads of grains and therefor tons more power despite bigger round, therfore it's way better even if only modestly more deadly. And it is, because battle rifles aren't used anymore due to stopping power not really mattering against humans, enter the lower caliber assault rifle (also recoil, but stopping power not mattering certainly as well). /thread

Try to kill me with a Styrofoam cannonball then. Do you even high school physics?

Nowadays you want a quick kill, so a bullet that causes lots of shock and knocks your opponent out right away is the way to go.
Or just good aim!

I went to the football game, and man I know it was cold and rainy and I missed half of it because I knew it was going to rain the first couple hours and I had to donate plasma today or forfeit $115 for not doing so for a couple hours, but it's not the same as back home where there are no pro sports teams in the state, just 2 good sized college teams so CFB is a way bigger deal and everyone has a lot more passion for the sport and the games get really fun and intense especially when we play each other, that's the state superbowl. People here don't care nearly as much about college sports, not that they straight up don't, but having 5 pro sports teams, especially football, the stadium is like 12,000 seats smaller even though this is a metro area of 1 million and IA state is in a town of 60,000 surrounded by a couple somewhat bigger cities and a stateload of bumfuck nothing. It's only like maybe a tinge over half full as well instead of sold out every single game like back home pretty much.
Also they sell booze in the stadium here, so people get drunk and forget about the game and what's happening on the field because they're inherently distracted and I guess maybe that's the way to do it if everybody else is gonna do that instead of paying attention and getting into it. It's not like we're a bad team either, 5-0 now and just shy of ranked, so not used to winning big all the time either. Maybe basketball will be better, or maybe playing a better team or something. I guess when in Rome just buy Vik tickets to get a get the better crowd and show.
