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.

That does make a lot of sense @wsm junkie and is also potentially an explanation for the type of off-side bruising we see with soft non exiting projectiles, the soft tissue / blood being forced ahead or along with the slowing projectile, then radiating out.
So the exiting projectile can do as much internal damage but suck the blood etc out without causing the hydraulic bruising ??
