Compare the amount of bleeding that results from a pencil sized wound channel, and a wound channel that you can stick your fist through. The pencil sized wound channel through the lungs usually kills, but it takes a lot longer for the animal to bleed out, and there is the possibility of fat or other material sealing the wound.
