What is the most deadly .22LR round?

I would think that anyone seriously comitted to self preservation would take the time and effort to become proficient with the most effective, pratical, carry weapon they could master. Along with the decision to carry, one should have come to grips with the possibility of having to use lethal force, and the consquences thereof.

Handicaps come in many forms. If the arguement is that it is performance, in the sense of accurate and effective shooting, an easier to shoot firearm might argueably be the lesser handicap.
If that's true, we ought to be able to find evidence for it.

The only "serious" use for the .22 LR is in assassinations (Mossad uses it.) But these are not self-defense cases, where the man with the .22 is attacked by someone else. These are cases where the agent takes his victim by surprise, shooting him through the head at contact range.

Beyond that, I cannot find any organization which expects its people to actually use a pistol in combat that chooses the .22 LR.
 
If you look at some of storm shadows other posts youll find questions about all sorts of calibers and types of guns.

Suggestions wanted for my first revolver!

so hopefully storm shadow isn't absolutely set on a 22 lr for SD
