    @Moa Hunter I believe its sucked out as the projectile would need to pierce the off side skin to allow the lung material to be able to exit.
    If you watch a slow motion shot where the projectile ends up under the skin on the off side they show the skin stretching a considerable amount to capture that projectile so i dont think soft lung tissue would have the mass or energy to punch through the skin ahead of the projectile.
