Which to someone in the Mensa society MIGHT mean that a 77 grain .22 caliber SMK thru your chest at 2400 FPS would be slightly more injurious to your carcass than a 44 magnum 240 grain soft point thru the same hole? My disclaimer is that you would certainly feel more manly handling the recoil and making the shot with the 44 magnum. For those of you who are NOT mensa members, the statistics of gun shot wounding show 44 magnum has about the same effectiveness as 9mm, 40SW, and 45ACP, however the bullets do make a bigger splat on the wall behind the intended target.


And how many .44 Mag cases were represented in those statistics? Two? Three? Statistically insignificant.
