If I remember Col. Cooper recommended a shot to the abdomen. Not nessisarily fatal if medical help is obtained, but the recipient , wont feel like contributing to the general brouhaha.

Well, the pelvis is one of the biggest vessel rich areas on the body. I would imagine a shot anywhere close would do damage to vasculature, and if you got really lucky, a .22 to the pubic bone would probably shatter it..
I've read of special teams in Vietnam that used suppressed .22's for assassinations. Could just be legend, but who knows.
A guy I used to go to church drove riverine boats during Nam and said when he walked into a weapons warehouse for Spec Ops, they had everything from Thompsons and BARs to a .444 Marlin lever gun. Really goes to show that the units that do the spooky stuff can pretty much get whatever they want/need.

You could be right JohnIV, my memory isn't as good is it used to be. And I'm one of the young'uns on the board! Used to be I could read something once, remember most of it, and remember where on the page it was too. Ah well.

In Arizona, at least, the 22lr is not used in corrections for any reason, as it is considered deadly physical force. We have less than lethal munitions we can use from 12 ga shotguns and 37mm multi munitions launchers, but no 22lrs. We DID use them way in the past - two American 180 22lr sub machineguns are in an armory I know of, NOT transferrable and will never be used again. Last time they were used, according to legend, the individual shot high and wiped out a score of air conditioning units.
That must've been something to witness.
