Regarding bullets striking glass and the resulting fractures
- When the bullet strikes the glass, “Radial fractures” (the somewhat straight lines running out from the hole) form 1st, but on the side opposite the entry.
- “Concentric fractures” (the circular cracks in the glass) form on the same side the bullet entered, but form after the radial fractures.
- “FLAKES” of chipped and broken glass will be blown away as the bullet passes through the glass.
- A “crater” is formed on the side opposite the point of entry.
As the bullet strikes it causes the following:
* Concentric fractures on the side of entry.
* Radial fractures on the exit side (but these form first).
* Flaking on the side opposite the entry.
C-O-R-1-n = F-L-A-K-E-S
Has appeared with some frequency
Example Question: At the scene of a shooting you are looking at a window. There is a radial fracture on the outside of the window and there is flaking. Which way was the bullet shot, outside in or inside out.
Answer: Inside out based on the information above (glass flakes will always be on the side the bullet exited)
