    I dont think its that you get more ricochets with subs, its simply that you hear them.

    One would never admit to deliberately trying to skim 22lr across a body of water but I hear they don't go that far

    Range carryed after impact would depend on many things but most effect would be angle IE a shallow glancing bounce has potential to travel almost as far as a normal shot aimed at the angle of departure of the ricochet.

    If you can hear it it is probably a whole lot less dangerous than the ones you cant hear() because it is tumbling threw the air and will slow down relatively rapidly.

    None of this is scientific, just logical and commonsense as is not shooting at a bunny on flat ground with a house in the distance.
