There are three main forces that a bullit does to a body. The first is physical force caused by the mass and inertia of the bullit hitting the flesh and causing physical damage to the tissues; the second is due to the compressive/expansive forces of the bullit (and the gas of the powder charge if at point blank range) as it travels inside the body, and the third is physical burning from the super heated temperature of the lead itself. Bullits also frequently spin out of control inside a body and also fragment causes hot spinning metal to tavel in odd directions. Nasty really.
