[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2847444, member: 5412"] heavier bullet vs lighter bullet. Same velocity basically. Ribs, bones, cell phones. A .177 pellet gun at 17 grains will not have the penetration as a .22 LR at the same velocity. A .50 caliber Sharps at 1400 fps will kill a bison. A 9mm at the same velocity will probably not penetrate the skin. Edit: all that being said a .22lr is what my butcher uses to kill cows, and a .22 mag is used to kill bulls. With perfect shot placement, almost anything will kill. None of that is going to happen in a gunfight. [/QUOTE]
