Why can't a bullet with a tiny mass have the same momentum as a moving truck?

A bullet with a tiny mass cant have the same momentum as a moving truck because the trucks mass and size makes it a lot harder to slow down. There for the wait of a 10 ton truck does a lot more damage then that of a tiny bullet. Due to the difference in the mass.
