On Friday morning some knucklehead came home high, having said he'd been ripped off somewhere, and he got his trusty High Standard .22 magnum and pointed it at a female roommate and told her everyone needed to get out of the house because he was gonna start killing people and he didn't care who. The female told him not to point it at her, so he pointed it at his sliding closet door and cranked off a round. The hollow point on that .22 mag bullet clogged up as it went through the closet door and into the bedroom wall, taking on the characteristics of a solid, and it came out the wall in the next bedroom, enterd and exited another sliding closet door, and entered and exited a dresser before hitting the wall behind the dresser and falling to the floor, spent. He went to jail for discharging a weapon in an occupied dwelling, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and violation of injunction.
The point is, people aren't that hard to kill. You are better served with a shotgun with birdshot. At 'across the room' distances, birdshot will kill quite definitively while also dissipating energy rapidly and not overpenetrating.
It's y'alls houses, though, and you can use whatever you want.
