So how does wound cavity matter when few of us are 11-15" thick?
Because the BG probably isn't going to just stand there squared up with his arms at his side
That's exactly right. Chances are high that an attacker will have an arm in front of hi.,

So, in order to effect a physical stop, a defender's bullets will have to....
  1. Enter the arm;
  2. Probably, break either the radius or the ulna or both;
  3. Exit the arm--and the exit wound through skin will consume more energy than most people realize;
  4. Enter the torso through fabric, possibly breaking a rib; and drive through to and damage something critical within the body, which may not be facing the defender.
