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?

A 12mm bullet traveling at a high speed makes a bigger hole than a 20mm rebar when a body is traveling at a few meters per second. Rebar also doesn’t distort as it tears through a body.
