Let's see: A .177 pellet weighs about 8 grains, goes about 650 fps on average. A .22 round weighs about 40 grains, goes about 1000 fps on average. That's five times the mass going one and a half times the velocity. How far will it fly when it richochets off a rock? Would you be willing to try and catch it? If you're squeezing off pistol rounds in suburbia and thinking that's OK, you gotta check yourself.
