To illustrate my point, what happens IF we flip a bullet into the side of an animal ? We may startle or spook it, but there is no damage.
OTOH, if that same bullet is propelled at a mere 1000 fps, WORK gets done enuff to injure (damage) or kill the animal. Jerry
Your illustration reminds me of an experiment I did. For scientific research I placed a soft point bullet on its base on the garage floor. I then smacked it as hard as I could with a flat smooth hammer of about 16 ounces. Apparently the hammer was not perfectly perpendicular to the point of the bullet. It took off at a very high velocity and bounced off a couple walls before I could even think about dodging it. The garage was completely empty so I found the bullet quickly. The point was barely damaged at a slight angle. By the way this was back when I was in my thirty's so I was still very strong from the weight lifting.
