I don't know about the particular round used for assassination, but it 
looks from a little googling as though a .32 ACP has about 130 ft pounds 
of energy, a .22 LR from a rifle barrel about 140 ft pounds, so if both 
are used in pistols I would think the .32 would have at least comparable 
energy.
