Of course you can practice on 6" targets at 25 meters so even in Kevlar you have a pretty good chance of connecting with a soft spot. The trouble with 22's is that even if a target is hit correctly the target may keep coming at you for several minutes. The CIA had S&W build an automatic 22 that would discharge 10 rounds in less than a second which would long term be pretty fatal to flesh and blood while keeping the noise down. Likewise the Soviet did a similar thing but using a custom 22ish caliber but at a much higher velocity to defeat body armour. > > > Mob hit-men who mean business use .22 long-rifle match pistols.
