Cavitation and destruction with significant bleeders may dictate packing material into large ballistic wounds as long as there is something significant fr there to be pressure against.
That is to say, just stuffing dressings into a wound won't do much, but stuffing it between intact skin or muscle belly and bone does great things to help control massive bleeding.

Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."
