If it was a pistol round defiantly BS with a exit wound from a ricochet.
I have had the full jacket of 9mm round hit me in upper leg and penetrate my pants in BDU's but no skin penetration just a small cut. this was off bullet traps in windows at around 3 meters. (hurt like hell and I was glad it did not hit my junk)
more important sighting I watched a FMJ 5.56 ricochet off a rock right out the barrel of a guy in the prone it pulled the jacket off and the core exploded into the rock the jacket did a 90 degree and hit a Korean soldier that was also in the prone in his backside. It penetrated his cloths and hit him right in the spine caused some light bleeding but the heat of the round is what made him scream not the damage it did. This was all within 3-5 feet of the barrel of the M-4. even if it hit him in the face it would have only lodged into meat maybe 1/2 inch from the wound I looked at on the Korean it was merely a flesh wound. and that was from a rifle almost point blank.
