I saw the IDF webpage, where it talked about using a supressed 10/22 (like the one in the above pics) for talking out dogs, as well as the knees of riot instigators.
 
I think they used them for riot control; the original MO was to shoot riot leaders in the legs to take them out of the riot...but I think they started to tag a few too many femural arteries and ended up, y'know, actually killing people which wasn't their intent.

*NM, sorry, didn't read the link...

I thought this quote was interesting too:

"The test showed that the Ruger was more lethal then thought especially in upper body injuries."

Goes to show never to underestimate the humble .22. I guess now the new argument will be .22LR vs 5.56 :D
 
I'm studying to be a forensic anthropologist (we specialize in the identification of bodies in various degrees of decomposition including fully skeletonized, as well as in crime scene recreation, identification of taphonomic processes etc etc... CSI type stuff)

Anyways, you guys would be surprised how many people are killed with .22... Just yesterday I was reviewing this old case where a man had been dumped down a manhole and he had a .22 slug embedded in the centrum of one of his lower lumbars that had entered from the front of his body... Tell me that ain't deadly.

Yes, but was the .22 the COD, as we say in CSI-talk? :)
 
If it wasn't the COD, then people were just plinking at a dead body? Or decided to make sure he was dead with a shot to the lumbars? What's a lumbar anyways.
