Yeah it does thats why bullets penetrate stuff because its a large force behind a tiny surface area.

A bullet could penetrate your body even if it had no point, simply due to the speed and momentum alone, it would smash it's way through.

You determine this how? All I see in the image is spools that are on crash with fire in the background. There could be a multitde of angles and distances on them.

That analogy is pointless, cars are
designed with crumple zones. Likewise, by proportion the iron chassis in cars are far stronger than the thin aluminum and whatnot construction of a 757. Combine that with an explosion and pressurized cabin, and you have no airplane fuselage afterwards.
