I don't think there's a ricochet, as (if my memory is right), bazookas use a shaped charge and that hole is caused by a jet of plasma.
Pretty high tech for the time.

That’s very cool! The plasma is caused by the heat?
-
Plasma isn't quite correct. It's more like a jet of metal (usually copper) travelling so fast it behaves closer to a liquid
