The greater frontal surface area of the expanded bullet limits its depth of penetration into the target, and causes more extensive tissue damage along the wound path.

Some skirmishes occurred in the area, as witnessed by the carefully preserved bullet holes in New Bethel Church and the “ Garner ” house, which is said to have been used as a hospital for wounded soldiers.

A soft lead bullet, or a jacketed hollow-point bullet or soft-point bullet will flatten out on impact ( if the velocity at impact is sufficient to make it deform ), spreading the impact over a larger area of the target, allowing more total force to be applied without damaging the steel target.

This process is called mushrooming, as the ideal result is a shape that resembles a mushroom — a cylindrical base, topped with a wide surface where the tip of the bullet has peeled back to expose more area.

In contrast to a hollowpoint which attempts to stay in one large piece retaining as much weight as possible whilst presenting the most surface area to the target, a fragmenting bullet is intended to break up into many small pieces almost instantly.

This causes the bullet to tumble in the tissue, thus increasing its effective frontal surface area by traveling sideways more often than not.

Bulletproof vests work by dissipating the bullet's energy in another way ; the vest's material, usually Aramid ( Kevlar or Twaron ), works by presenting a series of material layers which catch the bullet and spread its imparted force over a larger area, hopefully bringing the round to a stop before it can penetrate into the body.

The mechanism is the same as hollow-point bullets, but the lack of a hollow depression reduces the area upon which the hydraulic pressure can act on the lead, and thus the soft-point bullet expands more slowly than a hollow point.

Sectional density is a very important aspect of a bullet, and is the ratio of frontal surface area ( half the bullet diameter squared, times pi ) to bullet mass.
