Maybe if it is a high velocity bulet like from an m 16? I cannot see a 22 caliber bullet doing much swiss cheesing.

A standard .22lr round will fragment in the body and bounce off of solid matter, like bone, and cut through muscle and tissue like lungs and heart.
It's not the first round I'd think of for stopping power, but it's one that comes to mind that can be considered deadly.
