In armor training. They explained for a sabot round to work correctly it had to leave the Or exit the turret. Thus sucking the crewmembers out with it. The web sight terminal ballistics research also discusses trauma based on velocity. I think smokepoles point is also valid in that the lungfield will be in a varying degree of susceptibility depending on its state of inflation upon impact. The other thing to consider in ruminants is the rumen which predominantly occupies the left abdomen and is basically inert sack of ingesta, this makes almost impervious to shock in that area.
