As for animals falling down and getting back up, it's pretty easy to explain. The temporary disruption of the nervous system wasn't enough to keep them down and the permanent wound chanel wasn't instantly lethal. Energy doesn't kill except in rare circumstances. The kenetic energy of a bullet isn't that great in the scheme of things.

Sheephunter, try not to believe everything you read or be influenced by text books or military exercises. The greatest teacher in life is experience. Go back into your memory bank (not your text book - common sence only) and think of your kills and what the bullet had performed.
