      People are squishy. You can outright kill a person with .22 subsonic which is great for squirrels.

      Well… It’s not great for the squirrels TBF but good for the hunting anyway.

          .22 is pretty much the only round you can use for squirrel wtf are you talking about

      Dude any round can kill or maim, I had a kinsman who blew out his eye with a BBC gun back in the 50s. If a small ball round can do that imagine what a .22 or .32 could do.
