How does flying supersonic aircraft shatter glass of the window panes?

Moving faster than the speed of sound creates a shockwave. This shockwave is a wave of very high air pressure. When it hits glass it pushes on it and if the pressure of the shockwave is higher than the strength of the glass, the glass breaks.

If a window is shot by a bb gun and doesn't shatter but instead leaves a conical shaped chip from one side of the window to the other how does this happen?
