I want to know how a 9mm, even out of a Keltec from just a few inches away, doesn’t exit the body.

“I want to know how a 9mm, even out of a Keltec from just a few inches away, doesn’t exit the body.”

There could be several reasons:
Great bullet design.
The bullet path is along the long axis of the body rather than straight front to back.
Great bullet design, etc.

a very nice expanding round, going through layered clothing, maybe hitting his sternum or rib and just expanding and dissipating energy as it's cutting through some blood vessels.

Or something similar to that.

Back when ammo was cheap, I used to prune oak trees with a .357.

A 4” or 5” tree can be taken down with one well placed HP round.

Hollow-point fragmenting round? with BIG wound channel?

Proper projectile design + bone impact. Entered the rib cage, so it most likely hit bone somehow, taking away a _lot_ of momentum and/or tumbling the projectile.

Terminal ballistics vary widely based on lots of factors.
