Hi,

'Penetrate' suggests a more precise form of entry

If I penetrated your living room, I probably came in through the door.

If I crashed through your living room, maybe I came through the wall in a bulldozer.

Yes, advance with great force against strong barriers - enough force to destroy things in your path.
