In theory you could push a .22 fast enough to carry more enery than a .380.

Such a thing exists, in handgun form. The FN Five-seveN does this.

FN 5.7x28mm ball: 31gr 2,133fps 309ft/lbs*
Winchester .380ACP
silvertip hollowpoint:
85gr 1000fps 189 ft/lbs
Sources: FN, Winchester Ammunition, * calculated by arnieairsoft program
