While I was working weekends at a charity hospital in a large Florida city, 
small, cheap, 22 cal revolvers (Saturday Night Specials) became available in 
Florida; possibly because their importation had been banned and foreign arms 
manufacturers such as Röhm Gesellschaft had set up plants in Miami.

Many bar patrons in poorer sections of town used them to settle disagreements 
on Saturday night, with the losers of the arguments being brought to us for 
surgery and blood transfusions.

As Jim said, a person can slowly bleed to death from a 22 cal, so the big 
problem was finding the bullet. If you can find the bullet you can trace its 
path from entry hole to bullet, and the bleeding vessel will be somewhere along 
that path. Precisely pinpointing the location of the bullet was not always 
possible with the xray technology of the 1950s, so the surgeon would cut in to 
the bullet, and if the bleeding vessel was not there, he would cut along the 
path from bullet hole to bullet. This was time consuming because small vessels 
that were cut along the path had to be tied off. The result was that such 
patients could use up a "lot" of blood.
Manys the Saturday night we would run out of blood completely except for rare 
types; all due to the infamous Saturday Night Special.

I still have a pretty little chrome plated Saturday Night Special revolver that 
I seem to remember was given to me by a deputy at the ER. My young son and I 
took it and a box of ammo out a deserted road and shot the whole box at a tin 
can floating in a ditch ten or fifteen feet away. Neither of us hit the can, 
and we were both pretty good shots back then. They were not very accurate..

Heard about that but didn't read past the headline. 
Had no idea it was just a .22 they shot each other with. 

Amateurs...you gotta step your game up if you really want to be famous.

No 'just' about it.  When a nameless person and nameless friends decided
to fill a scrap vehicle with lead, the little .22 rifle clearly had the most 
penetrating
power.  (Everything else was a pistol.)  The .22 is deadly.  What it's not that
good at is stopping power.  Instead, you bleed to death.  A bit later.

My grandfather and his neighbor friend used to shoot at each other.
The game was to get close, make the other duck.  .22's, I can't imagine
actually doing this, but I have no reason to believe he was lying.  There
were no vests involved, just lead bees buzzing around your head.
