::Comment: This is a reasonable guess, but I don't know how Hersh claims it was a .22. I suppose that 2 shots in torso with .22 long rifle (hopped up rounds) could cause internal bleeding & death. But a .22 is certainly not the weapon of choice for a hit.  There are really cheap 9mm guns available.  If a .22 revolver, then no shells would be found from only 2 shots. I had been thinking it was likely a .357 to explain the death (no evidence for that).  If it was a .22, I think we are forced to deem the DNC-hit hypothesis unlikely -- also from the lack of a headshot.

However, I think there may be a confusion where in Hersh's mind, confusing a "Glock 22" .40 caliber standard FBI handgun with a .22 caliber revolver.  I think some tried to connect the murder of Seth Rich with a stolen FBI .40 caliber "Glock 22," which would be a semi-automatic, in conflict with the opinion that the lack of shells suggests a revolver.
