Excellent for stick penetrating skin...if it's for a bullet wound you might have to carry a pillow for the exit.

Depends on the caliber and projectile
I've used it on human entrance and exit GSW, but was FMJ.

Reminds me of my trainer for first aid years ago, very much a true first on scene type teacher.
Her recomendations were triangle bandages, tampons and sanitary pads as the most useful and cost effective three items to have.
I think saline solution was next, then ballpoint pen and pocket knife.
