There isn’t any real difference, just different ways of saying the same thing

I see why you ask.

"Through the wall" = the shot went all the way through the wall, and you can now look through the wall to what is one the other side - sunlight (wall of a house), into the next room - whatever is next door.

"In the wall" = the shot made a hole in the ball, but is still inside the hole. You can look into the wall, and see the shot. It is still there. In "through the wall," the shot is gone.

Let me know if this is clear, I take these questions seriously.

@WiseRichard Got it. But, for example, saying ''The worm ate the apple'' would have the same context equivalence as saying ''The worm ate through the apple''? (Because it is difficult to imagine such a small animal eating an apple without being able to cross it and make holes in it, passing from one side to the other, etc).

For the moment, let's set the apple aside. As an American in the 21st Century, I unfortunately know too much about this next topic. When some is shot, one of the first things the doctors and the police look for is an exit wound. If there is an exit wound, the bullet passed through them. It entered and left.

If there is not an exit would, it is still inside the person. It may be a big wound, but it is still there. It did not go through, the doctors will have to look for it on the X-ray in addition to determining the extent of the injury, and the police will stand by to collect the bullet from the operating room. If it goes through, they have to conduct a search. So, in summary, through is through/out the other end.

Sorry for the gritty example, but there it is.
