bullet hole
Shot-through opening
A bullet hole is the hole left when a bullet passes through something—a wall, a window, a body.
The term describes the damage rather than the projectile: The car door was riddled with bullet holes.
Bullet holes serve as evidence in crime scenes and appear frequently in descriptions of violence and its aftermath.
