it does , but im no expert, my understanding is the bullet will move in the opposite direction of the glass. ( perpendicular to the angle of the glass i guess)

Re: Dope on Glass
Unless your target is standing within a few inches of the glass, there will usually be a deflection of the bullet as it goes through the glass. This of course all depends on the angle of fire into the glass, the thickness & design of the glass & design of the bullet.
Most LEO's uses a Bonded bullet designed to keep the lead core from separating from the jacket....or using a totally solid copper bullet...There are too many variables to give you "sure-fire" DOPE on shooting through glass.....

Saw just this on Shooting Gallery TV the show from Wed night on outdoor channel was about an LE/MIL symbolism in Reno NV. "One Inch Too A Hundred Yards" were if to shoot out the windshield as it's is laminated glass a hollow point bullet would be needed to penetrate the windshield were the side windows are safety glass and will shatter

At one time (not sure if it's changed since then either) a lot of LE dept's were using the Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullet for shooting through glass, for reasons that mgd45 stated above.
