I remember, way back when during my Hunters Safety class, watching a video showing an arrow vs 30-06. Had a 1 gal coffee can filled with sand. Standing behind the coffee can was a small mirror. First the 30-06 was fired and had a heck of an impact on the can, tossing sand everywhere, but did not penetrate through the can and mirror was still intact. Then they shot the arrow, it penetrated all the way through the can and shattered the mirror behind it...
It's an example of slicing through a medium (Arrow), vs displacing the medium to force it's way through (30-06).
Bullets, no matter how pointy, do not slice through any medium, they forcefully move the medium around the bullet and the kinetic energy busts a whole through...
