That would mean that secondary projectiles (bone fragments/splinters) would be FAR more likely to originate from a fracture, as opposed to a deflection.

Yes, that fits in with what I have seen so far. Of course if you discuss secondary projectiles that are pieces of bone with an orthopaedic surgeon, he will point out that any loose bone like that can only be as a result of a fracture. What I am saying is, I know what you are getting at in terms of one surface being intact and the other surface giving up bone, but the medics will regard all those loose pieces of bone as fracture fragments regardless of the integrity of the parent bone from which they originated.
I am going to post some fractures caused by gunshots soon.
