Its going to go through most animals, but the issue is small hole in, small hole out. A large animal like a deer could possibly live through that, or at least for a lot longer of a time then if it got hit by the tips with the blades. For a small animal a tip that size would do enough damage to kill most within a few seconds.
That's why most of the tips have blades around the point, some in spiral shapes. They pierce the skin and try and rip up as much as the can inside to cause the animal to die faster with greater damage.
It goes through the metal because it punches a hole, which stays that shape and allows the shaft through with lower friction.
And animal body doesn't have a hard outer layer like that, and is more than a few mm thick. So it'll carve a hole, but as the shaft follows it'll still get gripped by the flesh as it passes through the body, especially as it is soft and won't maintain the hole like metal.
