This video compares the Federal Punch in .22 LR against a Federal Personal Defense in .38 Special +P, both out of snub nosed revolvers. Shots were initially taken into clear ballistic gel and then followed up with a heavy clothing barrier and a fiber board insert to simulate ribs. Surprisingly, the .22 Punch penetrated around 14"--just shy of the penetration depth of the .38 Special. This isn't an argument that the .22 will cause as much damage as the .38, but that the .22 Punch has much better penetration than other .22 LR out of a snub nosed revolver, and will reach the recommended FBI penetration depth against those barriers.
