Do you think a .22LR would go right through a body?

[SoCalEnthusiast]

My mate says due to the high velocity, it would go right through a shoulder, leg, etc. As long as it didnt hit a bone.

In my opinion- any bullet can do or not do something depending on so man factors- distance, velocity, part of the body, body fat, clothing, bullet weight, etc.

I'm no expert, but anything is possible.

Survey says: "Yes". I had a pellet gun pellet in .22 caliber go right through my upper arm.

Brothers can be jerks.

Yes, it will.

[robcoe]

Depends on where it hits and the person, but yes it is possable.

[Sutcliffe]

Very possible

Even highly likely depending on where it hits. Hollow points have less ability for penetration compared to solids.

From a rifle or a handgun?

Scrotum shot?

Hell yes it would.

[tbc]

From a rifle at a close distance, I think so.

I can tell you by experience a 22 will go through soft flesh,
if it strikes bone typically it will not

Curious on what 22 long rifle rounds do to flesh and bone?

Check out this thread I posted almost a year ago...

So how about a Ruger 10/22? .22 LR, do you think thats a good HD weapon as well? My friend keeps telling me that a .22 barely pierces human skin.

Is it the same friend who told you a .22 barely pierces human skin?

My cousin was recently shot in the chest, arm and pelvis 4 times at close range and the .22lr round did not go through
