Aren't those M-16 rounds 7.62mm? I think they are at least that. Those rounds are armor penetrating and will tear a huge chunk out of your back as it leaves. Probably take half your spine with it.
Silver_Pilate, have you seen the pictures of large calibre rounds as they blow through things like semi-set concrete and wood? They have a small entrance hole but from that hole onward it creats a huge cone that gets bigger untill it leaves your body, usualy several times bigger than the hole which it created when entering. Result is you lose a whole lot of stuff which sprays against the wall behind you. I do not think you want to be shot by a 44 magnum than a .22 round. Magnum will knock you flat on your a$$ after propelling you a few feet. At least you'll have a cushion of your own flesh to land on. I'm sounding a bit morbid here but those big guns are not to be messed with. You get shot once and you will go down, and you will die. There's no getting back up like in the movies.
People even make fun of 9mm guns, saying how punny they are. I for one would not want to be shot by anything that big. A marble is about 9mm across, picture a steel marble being propelled through your body, yeah it would suck. You probably aren't gonna live unless your in a hospital within 10 minutes. Oh and there are plenty of fun bullets like mushrooming heads which carve out your insides or hollowtip which will literaly slice and dice your major organs.
After considering all that, if I absolutly had too, then I'd rather be shot by a .22. But of course those will kill in the heart or the head too.
