You can accomplish that same effect by choosing the type of projectile. Jacketed Pre-Fragmented or JPF ammunition is #12 birdshot in silicone surrounded by a frangible copper casing. They expend 100% of their kinetic energy within a few inches of impact and create LARGE cavities. A .357 Glaser creates a permanent cavity the size of a cantaloupe.
Very few wounds to the torso from JPF slugs are survivable.
