When a fired bullet enters sand, it rapidly decelerates due to the resistance provided by the sand particles. The bullet's kinetic energy is dissipated as it compresses the sand and creates a cavity, eventually coming to a stop after traveling a short distance. The sand absorbs much of the bullet's energy, reducing the risk of ricochet and minimizing the potential for injury or damage beyond the immediate area. The effectiveness of sand as a bullet stop is why it is often used in shooting ranges and for safety barriers.

Back in the 1950's there was a TV program called, "You Asked For It." A program in which a person could write in with a question, and these fellas would try to answer it for the individual on television. So a young man wrote in, "what was more powerful, penetrating wise; an arrow or a bullet? The men at "You Asked For It", tied a sand bag (a bag full of sand) to a tree limb and fired an arrow at it. The arrow went thru and kept on going. Then they fired a pistol bullet into the suspended sand bag; the bullet stopped inside the bag; and they recovered the bullet and showed a close up for the viewers watching the show. Naturally of course, these ballistic type tests will always have different outcomes, based upon the make-up, type of metal, shape of bullet, speed of bullet, distance (range) from target, etc. etc. But generally (w/o getting into the particulars) an arrow penetrates and a bullet expands (even a full metal jacketed bullet will mushroom) thus stopping inside the impact area.
