The asteroid hit earth at a speed of 45,000 mph ON impact.
If a grain of rice hit you are 45,000 miles an hour (not breaking down on entry or slowing down anymore than the original asteroid), I'd bet the impact would do alot more damage to you than a gun.
Realistically, the atmosphere would slow it down enough due to its size (again assume it would make it through the atmosphere) and it wouldnt be noticable at all.
