Can a bullet shot through a glass make a clean hole?

Question

One can often see (hopefully only in the movies) that a bullet shot through a pane of window glass leaves a hole in it, but overall the glass is left largely intact. However, a low-speed projectile, e.g., a stone thrown into a window would probably shatter the glass completely. Is there a critical speed below which a bullet would shatter the whole window pane instead of piercing a hole?

Answer 1

There is no such critical speed as such it entirely depends on the solidity of the glass and the size of the projectile matters a lot.
