Why does a bullet when fired against a glass window pane make a hole in it, and the glass pane will smash it?

When a fired bulled with a large velocity gets in contact with the glass pane then the part of the glass pane which comes in contact with the fired bullet shares the large velocity of the bullet while the rest part of the glass pane remains at rest and not smashed due to inertia of rest.
