The .22 lacks killing power the cigar has killing power at closer range but maiming power at mid-range and long range. The .22 is lethal but the cigarette pistol lacks adequate rifling making it an up close (really upclose weapon). The OSS used this when the enemy was probably a yard away and the cigarette is aimed at the head. If body armor is a factor in this then the pistol is completely useless
