ELI5: What makes Small caliber rounds like .22 calibers uniquely deadly?
gpt
They aren't "uniquely deadly". .22LR is one of the most underpowered rounds available. If you're referring to the "most deaths from gunshots are from small caliber rounds" thing, it's because small caliber firearms are cheap, the ammo is cheap, and they are widely owned and used. More people shooting them means more negligent discharges, as well as more of them are stolen or bought cheaply and used in crimes.
