Will a .22 HP expand?
Well, according to this video, the Velocitors expand, even from a pistol.

Lol, fast forward to the 2:30 mark and watch the next 3 minutes.8 minute video! - nope, I'll take your word for it since you already watched it.
The Israeli's got the border guards Ruger 10/22's to "discourage" threats down range.
They eventually retired them with the official explanation given as "unexpected lethality".
Apparently they were accidentally killing wannabe terrorists out to a couple hunnerd yards.
Then Mossad was famous for using a Beretta model 70 in 22lr for assassinations.
Nasty li'l round.
Unexpected lethality.
I guess that's what happened to this idiot when he thought a .22 pistol wold make a nice drill to put a hole in the wall for a cable!
People keep on under estimating the .22 round.

SEDALIA, Mo. —
Officials are trying to determine whether to file charges against a man who fatally shot his wife while trying to install a satellite television system in their home.
Patsy D. Long, 34, of Deep Water, was pronounced dead early Saturday evening after being shot in the chest with a .22-caliber handgun.
Patsy Long was standing outside the residence while her husband was installing a satellite television system.
According to sheriff's department spokesman Maj. Robert Hills, Ronald Long fired a shot from the inside of their home after several unsuccessful efforts to punch a hole through the exterior wall using other means. Investigators said Ronald Long believed his family was inside the house.
He told authorities that he fired a second shot, then called out his wife's name and the names of their two children. When he got no reply, he ran outside and found his wounded wife.
Patsy Long was hit by the second of two shots fired by Ronald Long, the Henry County Sheriff's Department said.
Hills said a person involved in such a case normally would be charged with manslaughter, but that was up to the prosecutor.
"Once we complete a diagram of the incident, we will be submitting everything to the prosecuting attorney and let him decide if he wants to press criminal charges," Hills said.
Hills described the family as being very "distraught."
Henry County Coroner Scott Largent declined to release details about Patsy Long's death until the Sheriff's Department completes its investigation.
sad story, but lets not lose perspective: while its believed that more people have been killed with the 22 rimfire than any other round, that doesn't make it a particularly good choice for self defense.
Sanow/Marshall compiled a study involving thousands and thousands of actual shootings. they had criteria rating the stopping power of a single round to the torso (often referred to as "One Shot Stops", aka OSS).
the 22LR was effective is stopping an attacker around 30% of the time, vs better centerfire rounds that were effective into the mid 90% range.
also keep in mind that trying to make up for its lackluster ineffectiveness with a second/third/fourth/etc hit doesn't have the same sort of impact as the first, due to the way a body absorbs those additional shocks.
so yes, while the 22LR is lethal and does kill lots of folks, those deaths may occur hours or even days later.
thus the 22LR may not do the job quickly enough to not stop a pumped up aggressor before he can do you harm.
Yeah.WTF?
Yeah.
While I can appreciate the real experience stuff, I'd rather not hear of involvement in felonies by gun owners on our site.
