First make sure that the bullet did not penetrate completly throught the material. Then use a thin rod to measure the depth of penetration in centimeters. Find out the type of bullet that penetrated, the gun type used and the material penetrated. Then use these linear equations represented by ballistic fingerprinting to subsitute y for depth of penetration per material. Find x, the energy used.

Difference between Full Penetration weld Deep Penetration weld?

The difference between a full penetration weld and a deep penetration weld is the depth at which the metals being joined are actually joined. A full penetration weld is a slight puncture only to heat the two metals and join them. A deep penetration weld is a deeper hole puncture that is held and a metal wire is melted to join the metals.
