It sure can! Cajun gator hunters in Louisiana use .22LR and .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire to dispatch the gators with head shots before bringing them into the boats. A .22 is no joke. The high velocity fired from a rifle can penetrate 6 inches of pine at short range and has a maximum range of a mile. the .22 WMR is even more powerful, with almost a 2-mile range.

Depends on WHICH .22 bullet, what it was fired from, what kind of wood, and at what distance. .22 CB caps, fired from a pistol, at 20 ft, will bounce OFF a pine 2x4. A high velocity 40 gr .22 LR, fired from a rifle, will penetrate about 1 inch in the same 2x4.

When a bullet is fired from a rifle?

When a bullet is fired from a rifle, a chemical reaction in the gunpowder ignites, rapidly expanding gases build up pressure, and the bullet is propelled out of the barrel at high speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin, improving accuracy and stability. Gravity will eventually cause the bullet to drop due to gravity and air resistance.
