I believe he means that to determine the effect on someone you would have to follow this kind of gate list
1) Ammunition being fired
2) Distance to the target
3) Location from the axis of the target (to determine spin)
4) Calculate if the bullet penetrates (because this will lead to little or no change in the target's intertia)
5) Add this value to the any other inertia from previous bullet hits that the target has taken in the past second
6) Add in the reflex actions caused by the target when hit, which from the training I've had is the vast majority of all visual effects of people being hit by bullets, and develop a required animation for the target
7) Load the required animation and play through the necessary frames
8) Repeat as necessary
Remember, assuming that you're strong enough, that hitting a book with a bat will send it flying across the floor. Stabbing it with a sword will put a hole in it. Bullets intend to damage a particular portion of the pages in the center of the book, so it is useful to have them behave as swords. Excuse the poor analogy. But the weapon that should have the most kinetic impact on a target, a shotgun, causes many tagets to drop like a sack of potatoes.
Maybe all you want to have is shock effects from being hit.
