Bullets don't move people. They move through people. There may be rare exceptions where they strike helmets or body armor and push them, but when passing thorough flesh and bone, it pretty much slices through.

There has been analysis about the body in reaction to the shot, and suggestions are that it was a spasm or a result of the blood and flesh jetting out of the open skull.

Sorry, I don't have any details on the bullet characteristics, but my dim memory seems to regard that as a manufactured mystery.
