Yeah it does thats why bullets penetrate stuff because its a large force behind a tiny surface area.

A bullet could penetrate your body even if it had no point, simply due to the speed and momentum alone, it would smash it's way through.

You determine this how? All I see in the image is spools that are on crash with fire in the background. There could be a multitde of angles and distances on them.
