I've heard anecdotes of soldiers having a bullet stopped by a medkit, field manual, or other fortuitous kit they kept in their pockets. With enough bullets fired and enough soldiers wearing crosses there must have been at least one who had a hefty enough cross in just the right place to catch a bullet which would otherwise have been fatal.

Edit: ...or enough bullets fired at children I guess https://www.indiatimes.com/trending/human-interest/9-yo-boys-crucifix-necklace-stops-stray-bullet-from-penetrating-his-chest-saving-his-life/articleshow/127627714.html
