"larger than usual entry wounds" would be caused by larger than usual bullets. A good dum dum round doesn't exit the body, since it fragments and all of the force of the bullet is expended inside the body. A bullet that passes cleanly through, while still a very traumatic injury, has nothing on one where a couple hundred fp of energy is dumped into one small area in the body. The internal wounds are horrific and would in an extremity could easily just blow the extremity away from the body. I've seen this once in my rescue squad career. Patient exanguinated within three minutes of being shot.

I have always heard that dum dum ammo got its name in India (possibly where it was used in combat for the first time???}
