It can. The bullet if it doesn't expand it will tumble, and will not have the energy to punch straight through. The bullet will almost use the tissue as a trampoline. Tissue is very flexible. I actually know someone this happened to.

No. I've shot enough animals with a 22lr and seen the damage to know this is completely false. The 22lr is a soft lead bullet, which deforms easily at the velocities it travels at. As the bullet deforms in tissue, it looses energy. As it looses energy it can be stopped or deflected by a hard bone, but that deflection will only last a short while. If the bullet is being stopped or deflected by bone, it has very little energy and is not going to "bounce".
