I heard about a guy who did that with a .22, it was way worse than you'd expect. Think he got some compartment problem or something where the wound channel would clog in a bad way and he'd have to massage/push it out himself, at home, in a bathtub.

people think 'oh it's only a .22' lol. point blank, that bullet's got places to go and bones to crack on the way.

Yeah, it's not exactly an air rifle.

The bullet is about that size, but the difference is that it's going through.

I was told that a .22 can be worse than just getting shot with a high caliber because the .22 isn't likely to make it through bone, so it just ricochets around inside you for a bit instead of passing right through.
