    Give it time and they’ll have the “shoot yourself in the face with a 9mm because we believe 9mm are pussy guns” challenge.

    And they’ll do it.

      Well, obviously you don’t start with 9mm. You start with .17 and work your way up to 22 short then 22lr and so on. If you jump straight to shooting yourself in the face with a 9mm of course you’re gonna get hurt.

      I have unironucally heard a person state that a can plinking .22 round would not penetrate his skull at 100m.

          It definitely will. I used to shoot all sorts of random shit out past 200m as a kid when we went to visit my grandparents who had a giant plot of land in the middle of nowhere. I have a very traumatic memory of my brother shooting a turtle he put up on a rock across the pond and watching it bleed out, so I am 100% sure it will both go that far and punch through bone.
