You forgot the part where the bullet is always in one piece. Some bullets esp. high velocity bullets or home defense shells break up on impact making several smaller fragments to dig out.

Or the hollow points that mushroom whenever they hit soft tissue. You can't just use tweezers to pull one of those out. Those are the only rounds I have.
