A 22 round is not going to “bounce around.” It’s soft lead and lacks stopping power. It’s a round that is not going to have a lot of penetration power if you’re shooting center of mass. Of course, the person you shoot may be deterred by the noise of the round being fired and getting hit with it. Then again, maybe not. During one of my many excursions to Third World countries, courtesy of the US Army, I got shot in the leg with a 22 round. It hurt like a mofo, but did not deter me.
