Fractured position of the casting cylinder of 10.5 mm thickness (minimum measured thickness) showing a brittle behavior (lack of plastic deformation), typical of overloading a material with 1% ductility (measured in the tensile test). This is the view of the internal surface of the cylinder, presenting regions of localized thinning in this surface that was in contact with (treated) cooling water. The external side of the cylinder was painted.

Other view of the 3/8" thickness plate, 50 mm x 50 mm, of the low carbon steel plate, in the opposite face of impact. The plate suffered a localized perforation and this image shows the position of the exit of the bullet. It is also evident that the shot was very close to the red painted device since a straight line is marked at the surface of the plate (bottom of the figure).
