I wouldn't have thought that was true. Is it bullet shape or is it because the .22lr bullet is FMJ? For some reason, I just find it really hard to believe that a .22lr will penetrate a vest.

To make a long story longer, I bought a Hastings slug barrel for my BPS and in anticipation of receiving it, I bought some Remington copper solid sabots. Well, wouldn't you know it, the warning on the new barrel said not to use Remington copper solid sabots in the barrel. So, I gave them to my brother for him to use in home defense out of his Benelli SBE. He and I both have a friend that is a LEO and we were all over visiting my brother at his house one day. When this guy saw the copper solid sabot sitting on my brother's night table, he almost had a heart attack. I can understand why. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that round, vest or no vest.
