....Psychological factors are probably the most important relative to achieving rapid incapacitation from a gunshot wound to the torso. Awareness of the injury (often delayed by the suppression of pain); fear of injury, death, blood, or pain; intimidation by the weapon or the act of being shot; preconceived notions of what people do when they are shot; or the simple desire to quit can all lead to rapid incapacitation even from minor wounds. However, psychological factors are also the primary cause of incapacitation failures....

With handgun rounds, it is mostly psychological, unless you hit something very vital of course.

Yep, nothing more damaging than "tumblers", it's the difference between getting "drilled" at a high speed or knifed and twisted, less clean wound pattern, more damaged area upon being hit.actually the tissue damage of the original M193 55 grain bullet shot out of the 1X12 barrel (original M16) was more extensive than the 762 NATO due to the yaw (destabilized bullet's movement in flew) also the 270 rounds that was the normal compliment for a M16 armed infantryman was far more lethal than the 6-8 magazines of 20 rounds of 762 NATO that was normally issued
Energy transfer vs. wound pattern. A .22 is more likely to cause a vital organ hit from an internal ricochet, however a larger caliber will expend a lot of energy through the contact point, hitting a spot like center mass with a large caliber such as the chest cavity sends a concussion wave through liquids(like blood) and can destabalize critical organ systems. Then again, there is a strong psychological element as well.With handgun rounds, it is mostly psychological, unless you hit something very vital of course.
The .357 will cause a massive penetration wound, but expend it's energy quickly upon contact, mass/weight to velocity. The .22 will bounce around after hitting bone, very little mass to velocity. It's kind of like a sports car versus a semi and what will happen upon impact.I think there would be a big difference between a .22 and a .357.

Yep, all dependent upon proximity to the shot, adrenaline, etc.A .22 will follow the path of least resistance - which happens to be vital organs. However, there is a good chance a person shot with a .22 won't even know it. Might die a quarter hour later, but isn't fazed by the shot.
