Not necessarily but yes, often they would.
Nerdy gun-fan time: apart from what I\'m about to say, the gun, the bullet type, the range and the angle of the surface to the incoming shot would all have some effect. But car doors vary a great deal from place to place in how much protection they provide - the glass, the winding mechanism, the lock etc. Assuming a nearly-perpendicular shot to a part of the door where there is no internal mechanism you\'re talking about a single layer of mild steel and some plastic, so yeah, even just handgun bullets can whiz right through.

If I know the episode of CSI your speaking of I think the image in questions was supposed to have been taken with a pro level digital or film camera. The thing that got me about it was that all they had to resolve was the print, not the negative.
I was a digital camera I\'m pretty sure... given the size of the subject in the frame they\'d have had to have been looking at a 60 megapixel image or something like that to even
think of trying this!
If they did use a print to do something like this in another episode

Classic error in the long shot scene showing Eowyn waiting at Edoras the smoke is going down the chimneys and Flags are wafting in reverse. lol
Oh classic! Didn\'t spot that. You see this sometimes in shots with water (waterfall in one scene of
Anaconda).

Not to mention movie handguns never seem to have kickback.
That is generally true, that or just very little - with no bullet being spit out the end of the barrel there\'s no transfer of mementum as there would be normally.

After Neo\'s mouth gets sealed shut, and he\'s getting a little annoyed about it, it cuts back to our dear Agent Smith. In whose wodnerfully shiny glasses we can see Neo sitting in his general defiant pose, as earlier.
Ah, good one, I remember that now. This is what digital post-processing is for Bros. Wachowski!

The policeman who jumps badly and hits the wall manages (and i think this is impressive on a brick wall) to make it wobble. Turn the speed down and this is nicely visible.
Wobbly parts of the set, I love it! And here\'s us thinking it was just in
Plan 9 From Outer Space lol
Related to this, in an early episode of
Enterprise Archer is in a Jeffries tube or something like that and you can clearly see the metal panel behind him has a plywood grain texture under the paint!

standard realism issues aside [mostly], i wouldn\'t expect a metal pole to bend quite that much when swung. Wood, sure.
Well he is Neo and there is no pole... lol Actually you can bend sign posts a smidgen by hand, never made one shake by giving it a smack when you walk past? Oh, that\'s just me isn\'t it! You can even get some lampposts to wobble
