Stone fling hole I – polished glass

Mechanic spot load – short-term – very large dynamics
Type of glass

Polished glass, ornamental glass, rolled sheet glass, all monolithic glass, armoured glass.

Examples

Stone or another bullet from the sling

Beginning

A small opening at the shot side;

Irregular rough edge

Lines of process

Irregular hole with short fragmentations efferent from the fissure centre, not always accurately centrifugal

End

The opposite shot side;

A remarkably larger outlet opening

Other features

Almost round hole in the glass;

Cone with the opening to the opposite shot direction;

Smooth acute/sharp edges;

Rear small crosscut fragmentations;

Round form    = vertical hit;

Oval shape = diagonal hit;

Large kinetic energy = vertical cone = acute/sharp edge;

Smaller kinetic energy = flat cone = irregular edge
