      not only that, tempered glass is not easy to break with something smashing into it. I deal with lots of tempered glass daily and it can take a beating, while sometimes it isnt as strong and can break quite easily.

      standard tempered glass is harder than steel. It just isn't tough, sharper point takes advantage of that introducing stress. That is why you can score a peice of glass and then cleanly break it across the scoring.

    Later, I built a ballista out of a truck leaf spring and sent a flaming broomstick across the York River (east of the bridge) on the 4th of July (I really should have picked a day with smaller police presence but whatever).
