I have a vague recollection of hearing about US Special Forces in Vietnam shooting VC sentries with their silenced .22LR pistols, and a few cases where the VC slapped at the wound thinking they'd been bitten by a particularly large mosquito.
Possibly complete hogwash, as I do think it was one of the Cyberpunk2020 forums I heard the tale on
