A close-up of the previous one. Pretty cool to see how the cracks propagate at the same time the bullet falls down, severely deformed after having delivered its kinetic energy...

this is a thicker glass and here again you see the cone of the impact and the vacuum created on the opposite side. The glass brakes and the shock-wave pushes the glass to outwards while an aspiration makes the glass being sucked inside on the other side. That is why we see here a belly on the right and a valley on the other side on the left. See also the piece of glass that enters inside in that valley where one can see a hole opening.

A wonderful capture. Time well spent to capture such a instant of time.
