Your right, but not that's not necessarily going to happen all the time. The .22 LR and the military .223/5.56 are both notorious for not leaving an exit hole. Granted the .223/5.56 has enough power behind to go in and out, especially using FMJ bullets like the military does, but when using hollow points the chance of that happening drop significantly do to the bullet losing so much velocity as it expands. Then there is the fact that regardless of the type of bullet used ( ie FMJ, hollow point, etc) due to the speed and small size of the projectile they have just as much tendency to simply hit bone and bounce and tumble around inside the body, and expending their energy that way, as they do of making an in and immediate out exit. For a .223 the tumble and bounce is less likely to happen at close range than for a .22 LR, but it can still happen. Unfortunately for the victim, at close range, the in might be at the chest and the out might be down at the ankle depending on what it hits and how it bounces. The .22 might not be powerful to bounce and travel that far inside the body, but it still has enough to bounce and tumble and cause major internal damage to more than one vital organ without exiting at all.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
