People are squishy. You can outright kill a person with .22 subsonic which is great for squirrels.

Well... It's not great for the squirrels TBF but good for the hunting anyway.

Dude any round can kill or maim, I had a kinsman who blew out his eye with a BBC gun back in the 50s. If a small ball round can do that imagine what a .22 or .32 could do.

Y'know usually I hate autocorrect but this time it's funny. Best part is it's because I was talking about the BBC company, know the TV thing.
