How is it that a bullet that is 12.7 mm in diameter can kill somebody with so much more bodily damage than a 20mm rebar rod that is impaled through the body? I see stories of people surviving impalement all the time, but a shot with a .50 cal to the same area almost always results in instant death. Shouldnt the bullet just go through its target because it travels so fast?

The bullet strikes your flesh. Your flash has to move out of the way, and very very fast. It gets blasted out of the way. A wave of pressure flies outward violently, moving and smashing your insides as it goes. This wave is concentrated towards the exit wound, bursting out the back and creating a hole significantly more gruesome than the entry.
A stabbing can have its own issues, but really won’t destroy much outside of its path.
