Best Answer

Soda lime glass softens at around 726 degrees Celsius, which is roughly 1340 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the point where glass will begin to sag under its own weight.

Why does a bullet makes a hole when it is fired at a glass?

Glass is usually made shatter proof in order too prevent long sharp pieces of glass injuring people. This is done by either applying a clear sheet of plastic too the glass, or the glass sheet is heated till just below the softening point and then cold air is blasted onto the glass, this way when the glass breaks into small chunks which would explain why in some cases the bullet only punctured a hole instead of shattering the whole sheet of glass.
