I'm thinking you'd have damage from the pure energy imparted into the material e=1/2mv^2, but then also from pressure from bernoulli's theorem v^2/2g. In both cases, you'll note that if you double the velocity you get velocity squared increase in potential energy. In the case of doubling mass, you just double the energy. Then on top of that you've got the sheer force of pounding the flesh apart, it wants to keep on moving until it runs out of energy and with enough energy you can get past the elasticity of what you're passing through and cause additional damage in that way.
Geez, looking at the math, I think I'd prefer to do whatever I can to not get shot by any gun.
