Shawn, the round didn't exit the abdominal cavity in the region of the change of trajectory. The only damage that was found in that region was a liver laceration (more like a groove actually) that was packed with SurgiSilk.
I photographed the man and his clothing, supervised or took the X-rays (I can't say which without digging up the case notes) and I accompanied the man to theatre and watched the surgery.
If I thought there was another reason for that deflection, I would offer it, but so far it goes down in my book as a soft tissue deflection. It isn't the only one I've seen, but it is one of the most bizarre.
