    I bet it would be lethal out to a mile and a half if it was fired at an angle to reach that distance and happened to hit a person just right.

    I used to live on the river in Knoxville, TN when I was a kid and on the other side of the river from our house there was a spur railroad track where some old boxcars were parked between 3/8s to 1/2 mile away. I would have to aim about 45 degrees high using 22 shorts to hit them. I would shoot and about 3 seconds later you hear a faint plink when it hit. The 22 lr didn't take but about a second and a half to hit at approx. A 25 degree angle and the sound was more than just a faint plink. You could definitely hurt someone at that distance with a 22 lr.
