The depth a projectile penetrates into a medium depends on its velocity, mass, and impact angle; bullets fired into ground penetrate about 30 cm, while those from handguns reach approximately 1 meter, and specialized earth-penetrating bombs can achieve depths of 61 meters, while bullets entering curved pipes shatter upon impact due to the extremely small angle of collision with the inner wall.

How Deep Can a Bullet Go Into the Ground? 😱💥 #3DExplainer #shorts #science #facts #3danimationAdded:
If you fire a bullet into the ground, it will only penetrate about 30 cm deep, while a bullet fired from a hand can penetrate about 1 m deep. However, the German Tiger tank from World War II could somehow penetrate the ground directly, with its shells going as deep as about 5 m. Additionally, when local bombers dropped earth-penetrating bombs, the penetration depth could reach an astonishing 61 m. And if you shoot a bullet into a curved pipe that bends back, most people would think the bullet would bounce back and hit you, but that's not the case. Even if you shoot a bullet but when the bullet enters the curved pipe, it will immediately hit the inner wall of the pipe, and due to the extremely small angle of impact, the bullet will shatter and
