That is the molten "carrot" I referred to.
If you are going to acknowledge your errors individually, this is going to take a lot of time.
It does not normally overpenetrate a hard target unless is is thin skinned. It loses heat and energy very quickly during penetration.
The holes are also very small in diameter, the exact size is again, to some degree a design function of the diameter, depth, and liner of the charge.
