The drill is for Terminator Armor. Beneath the Terminator Armor is normal Power Armor, and when the drill goes that deep they switch to the saw.

An Apothecary is a Space Marine. I have indeed pushed a drill through metal, and to avoid it going straight through you need to keep a constant light pressure on it. It is hard to do it but it is far from impossible.

As a Space Marine, the Apothecary has much faster reaction time and his reflexes are great, meaning such setbacks that we suffer will not affect them much.
