How Brazil handles a school shooting

"Tiny .22 rounds" in the case of the P22 are always high velocity .22 LR rounds, not .22 short which is the normal pistol round. Same diameter projectile as used in AR-15 rounds, just a somewhat smaller case and propellant load.

As I was taught for target shooting with .22 rifles, the round should always be considered potentially deadly.

.22LR rounds deliver 1/12th the energy of a .223 rifle round. The .22LR moves from a subsonic 750 fps to a high of almost 1300 fps when fired from rifles. The most powerful .22LR will leave the barrel of a Walther P22 at just over 1000 fps.
A .223 round moves between 2500 and 3000 fps and while virtually the same diameter, is a heavier, larger bullet.

Just shows that even a tiny .22LR bullet, the smallest, elastic's powerful popular round is deadly, just like a .223 AR round, or even a 50 BMG. All will kill a human if shot
