At same time though, we have to remember that drow have a lot less body fat than human, and while it may not look like much, that stuff is really good at slowing bullets down. Not stop them, but slow.
And what is a major factor in a round tumbling and ricocheting all around body? Its speed. And no, I am not going to make a joke of how female drows have a lot of fat on chest...
Also, drow bodies tend to be toward more thin build compared to size, so if we take a bulky human with wide shoulders and strong abdomen, their body thickness wouldn't probably be that far away from standard drow. And in this time of DT:MA, what kind of humans are most common as soldiers? The big, bulky types.
Why I am saying that it may be somewhat more lethal against them is because the bullet going straight through has been a commonly reported occurrence in most wars the US has fought, however the people the US has fought tend to be rather Small and skinny the kind of people who don't have much to slow a bullet down and any significant increase in mass over that standard would probably lead to increased instances of Tumbling.
