Because the solid steel plate does not move, conservation of momentum dictates that the bullet must go somewhere. Since it cannot penetrate, it undergoes a process called bullet splash [2.3.2]. The bullet essentially disintegrates and is redirected outward [2.3.1, 2.3.2].
The Splatter Fan: The bullet fragments and vaporized lead are forced outward in a flat, 90-degree disc parallel to the face of the plate [2.3.2].
The Radius: This high-velocity ring of copper and lead "shrapnel" expands outward. The dangerous physical splatter zone extends to a radius of about 10 to 15 feet from the point of impact, which is why steel target shooters must maintain safe stand-off distances [2.3.1].
