Bullet Hole? I'm Not So Sure

I've shot a stone or two from my snow blower a few times. Possibility of picking up a piece of gravel or something like that from clearing some of the grass areas around the driveway?
Gravel??? Maybe shot from a cannon... To do that damage either you need velocity or mass... Otherwise known as horsepower or torque.... So if you have a leaf blower that moves a piece of gravel with enough velocity to punch a hole through the quarter panel of a early 70's vintage Mopar particularly at that severe of an angle I think Stihl wants to talk to ya...
Looks like the hole was made by a welding slag hammer.
...or it could have been Aliens.

Wish I could see the video in a larger format...
Initially, I'm not buying that it's from an incoming round, either.
Dude might have had an accident with his 4-wheeler (and more likely,
whatever he had mounted on it) and is now making up the shooting
story for insurance purposes?

I was on a job one day a few years back, and a rock about the size of a peach stone came flying off the ride-on lawnmower that the Company Groundsman was using at the time. It made a sizeable dent in my near new van, but didn't penetrate the steel. Made a hellava bang, but no hole, and Japanese vans are lighter weight than a 70's era Dodge car.
I doubt it was a bullet....more likely a pick hammer.

Why would illegal Mexicans attack a charger?
Remember the Alamo?
An Englishman, Frenchman, Mexican, and Texan were flying across country on a small plane when the pilot comes on the loud speaker and says,Remember the Alamo?
"We're having mechanical problems and the only way we can make it to the next airport is for 3 of you to open the door and jump, at least one of you can survive"
The four open the door and look out below.
The Englishman takes a deep breath and hollers "God Save The Queen" and jumps.
The Frenchman gets really inspired and hollers "Viva La France" and he also jumps.
This really pumps up the Texan so he hollers "Remember the Alamo" and he grabs the Mexican and throws him out of the plane.
My Dart was hit with a practice arrow, left a perfectly rounded hole. Never found out who did it, but the arrow was still in it. The bullet would still be in the trunk. This is a 45 caliber bullet hole.

Dang
It was hit in the trunk lid just above the bumper on the driver's side. It didn't have the trim piece on it like my 67 GT had. It was a delete everything but heat 69, 340, 4 speed car.

It does "appear" to be a bullet/projectile type damage. That damage requires velocity to penetrate the metal, especially at an angle. If done my a tool or machine-type object, usually there will be some evidence at the point of entry, of the "exit" of the tool/machine, even the slightest scrape/bend on the lip in the opposite direction, AND there will be greater adjacent damage. To be sure, look for 1) what stopped it, 2) the actual bullet/projectile, will in this case be inside the trunk. You can get a trajectory by inserting a long stick, approximating the angle from outside, into the hole, and looking for a sign of impact, even a deflection. The outside metal will have slowed the bullet enough to only bounce of an inside hard surface, and it could be ANYWHERE inside there. An actual inspection would be required to be sure.

I left Ryan (owner of the Charger/video) a message about joining this site if he's not already a member here. And I informed him about our interest in this video.
He's definitely out in the Minnesota countryside where a long distance shot could have done this. He needs to do a little more digging around in the trunk and see if he can find the "projectile". Could have been a small stone from a snowblower too but you'll only know by finding it.
He has a small collection of Mopars and is selling a car now and then and some parts. Check out his other videos.

Yes I believe it to be a bullet hole. This is my car and I appreciate the interest in this situation. The strange part is that there is no sign of the bullet or any further impact once entering the trunk.

Whatever came through that hole is probably still in the trunk somewhere. It might be down in the wheel house, down in that tight spot in the lower quarter. Might take some hunting. I can't see a sharp object just puncturing it from the outside. What could do that?
Keep in touch!

if it is "actually" from a bullet it will have lead
or copper residue on it...

Second gear fun!
No bullet hole , at that angle , would be a recognizable exit wound, sharp blade on some piece of heavy equipment!
