No, it's the same kind of force distribution when you stab something and shoot something. That is sharp force trauma in both cases. (Depending on the kind of bullet, of course.)

Wrong, Good Sir.

A stab with a blade carries more force and will generally do more damage to an armored target, as the force of the blow is followed-through by the strength of the one doing the stabbing. A bullet impacts, distributes its kinetic energy, and has no further force to back it up.
