Soft projectiles kill great...... Until they don't. Then they leave a horrible mess.

flip that on its head........stout/hard projectiles work great untill you get lower velocity and/or have bullet drift slightly off point of aim and dot hit any bone so it meets no risistance..then you get a pencil type hole and next to no mess...mess=good
