Do you have any relevant experience? Maybe your guesses about how things should work are simply wrong, and that's causing your problems.

Watch what happens when a bullet is fired through ballistic gel. It's not some simple thing where a hard thing goes in one side and stuff comes out the other side.

Why didn't we see it go in from the front? A rifle bullet travels at hundreds of metres per second. It's not easy to see it while it is in motion unless you're using a slow motion camera.
