Detailed explanation-1: -When a bullet penetrates a panel of glass, it leaves a crater-shaped hole that: is wider on the exit side an forms randomly and hence the direction of impact cannot be determined but its appearance.
Detailed explanation-2: -When a bullet penetrates glass, the resulting breakage on the exit side will be narrower than the entrance side. A force that expands is called a striated force. The atoms of an amorphous solid have a random, disordered arrangement, unlike the regular, orderly arrangement that is characteristic of crystalline solids.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cracks radiate outward and encircle the hole, as shown above. The radiating lines are appropriately known as radial fractures, and the circular lines are termed concentric fractures.
Detailed explanation-4: -Round bullet holes signify the shooter was perpendicular to the glass.
