    I read the book about the Israelis.  Although I cannot vouce for the
    validity of it, they did indeed use the old Beretta .22 semi-autos, with
    downloaded .22 LR in it.  They would fire two shot double taps, and use
    as many as they needed.  They went for the body as I recall because under
    stress you may miss the head, and they pulled their hits in public places.
