Bond was pure fantasy. He carried a .25 auto, even less effective than
a 22 rimfire. " the best that can be said about a .25 is that if you
shoot someone with one it will give a slight edge in the fistfight
that will surely follow."
Oh boy! A gun thread, yippee!
At a mere 60 ft-lbs, there is a rather good possibility that if you shoot
someone in the forehead with a .25, the round will not penetrate the
skull.
Give me a .45 SAG, you can get a Glock that'll hold about thirty of these
in a clip....

That's as may be, but I wouldn't stand in front of my .22 Buckmark if it
was about to go off.
Course, I wouldn't stand in front of my SW .38s either but the .22 is
still going to put a hole in you. Might take you a while to cark it but
in the right spot, cark it you will.
Never fired a .25 but one of my friends has one - Italian job his father
bought back from WW2 (not kosher in this jurisdiction but only a few of us
know about it)

My understanding was that in some respects getting hit by a 22 is worse...
tends to rattle around, bouncing off things and doing a lot of damage, where
a larger caliber goes right through (and doesn't hit something vital of
course). I think I'd prefer to get hit with a bb.
