: Why the bullet didn't go through that Nepalese guy and hit Indy when Marion shot him (w/a Mauser "Broomhandle"?) in the bar fight.

: Abner

: : : When Indy is on the tank and he shoots the P-38, it goes through three Nazi's. I just don't think that would happen. Would it??

: : : Indy

: : Yes. Regards. Michaelson

I think the only way a 9mm would go through three guys would be if the bullet didn't hit any bones or metal parts of uniforms (buckles, buttons, etc.), and if that were the case it probably wouldn't have killed any of them so quickly let alone all three. However, I believe the humor of the scene regarding Indy's reaction is more important than the accuracy of the ballistics involved, and that goes for the Raiders scene as well.
