A bullet, or at least some of them, is designed to deform on impact so as to
cause damage to that which it hits.  Yes, I know, some aren't.  At any rate, a
meteorite is not made of lead, it is made of nickel, iron, and other metals
that have distinctly different characteristics from bullets.  It wouldn't
necessarily obliterate whatever it hit in an explosive manner.

Nice try though . . . :^)
