Hi NT you guys usually don't steer me wrong so here I go again. My and a couple of friends were choppin it up and we get on the topic of firearms. Then itfocuses on the .22 cal pistol or better yet the ammo. Now I have heard for years that a .22 is virtually harmless unless its close quarters (I know thatswrong) but I have also heard that the .22 is one of the most deadliest firearms because of the ammo. One friend in particular stated that the ammo"bounces" around in your body before it settles. Like if I got shot in the foot the bullet might bounce around to my head(obvious exaggeration).Other stated they have had friends who get shot in the legs and have the bullets removed from their stomach area. Now is there any truth to this bouncing .22bullets theory, or are my friends just believers of urban myths? Thanks in advance.
