      It does indeed rupture, but with the light weight it doesn’t have much force behind it. You get possibly one or two pieces of metal detaching, rather than a fanned out fragmentation spread, with a large surface area but lightweight piece rather than small dense pieces that will go further and faster. Hence words like “minimal” rather than “none”.
