sounds like you need to learn.
arrow, knife or bullet, kill the exact same way, destruction to vital tissue. a boolit to the gut is no more lethal than a knife or an arrow to the gut i dont care if that boolits diameter is .25 or .30

boolits do tend to do more damage in the lung area than arrows because of hydraulic pressure, not hydrostatic shock, thats an oxymoron.
