Shills (and the ignorant) will say "bullets do funny things when they hit bone" to explain the lack of an exit wound.
That is TRUE!
BUT the debate we should be having is NOT really about an exit wound. It's about ENERGY.
In certain situations an exit wound is very much preferable because it means the bullet did not dump all its energy INSIDE the Target.
To stop the bullet, a lot of tissue needs to absorb a TON of energy. Literally. 30-06 still has ~2000 ft pounds of energy at 150 yards.
Being surrounded by stupid people shills that don't (want to) understand this, and other objective things, is demoralizing... and therein lies the real power of a shill.
"To stop the bullet, a lot of tissue needs to absorb a TON of energy"
That's just it, Gel is not Tissue. Watch hunting videos. Watch cartel executions. There's plenty of gore websites. Ballistic gel is not the same regardless of how much you try to make it look human.
And if the cartridge had a deficient powder loading, the energy would be much reduced. This is called a dud round and they happen. Firearms training generally includes instruction on how to cope with one. A low powder charge could easily reduce the muzzle velocity to be comparable to a pistol cartridge, thus lowering an attempted head shot to be a neck shot.
I agree that it is onerous to be surrounded by shills.

I've never used a gun in my life but I understand physics and I was one of the first to say that it was a squib.
