I think we need to try to define small blows if that's what you're going to call this. They hit a trailer hitch, fast, and it pierced 1/4 inch of steel armor. In a car with similar clearance and without such armor it seems there's a very real chance it could have penetrated the driver or passenger compartments. I don't think that's a small blow.
