Be sure not to forget that bullets tend to deform as they pass through their
target so a 5.56mm round is more than likely going to be a lot largetr when
exiting.  Compared to an arrow or crossbow bolt bullets are a lot nastier in
that regard.  Plus I agree that you want players awake and aware that a
couple of foot of yew is poking through them.  Adds to the ambience.
