The results show that even high-velocity rounds like 5.56mm and .223 Remington, as well as heavier calibers like 45-70 and 8.6 Blackout, create small, clean holes through thin tissue, similar to a hole punch. The host explains this is because the tissue is too thin for the bullet to transfer enough energy for catastrophic cavitation, unlike in ballistics gel.
