The shatter proof film does increase the glass's resistance to being broken, and when it does get broken, the pieces are stuck together and don't collapse into sharp fragments. It in no way means the glass is unbreakable though, a strong enough force can make a hole. It certainly could not stop a bullet, which would punch right through it.

Why does a stone shatter glass while a bullet makes a neat hole?

A bullet travels at really high velocity and therefore the glass does not have enough time to bend due to the force and shatter instead the bullet just damages the area it gets in contact with and thus making a hole in the glass. Whereas a stone travels at a low velocity and the glass has enough time to bend and shatter


If you put a firecracker in a glass bottle will it shatter?

Yes, if a firecracker is ignited inside a glass bottle, the rapid expansion of gases produced by the explosion can build up pressure within the bottle, causing it to shatter. It is extremely dangerous to experiment with firecrackers in this manner and should not be attempted.


Can a 22 bullet hit a double-paned glass window not make a hole and only shatter one of the double-panes?

It would be possible for a .22 bullet to brake the first pane and not damage the second. I would expect to find signs of a bullet hole in the broken pane. But it depends on the temper of the glass. High tempered glass will shatter. You usually find these in sliding doors. I knicked one and it cracked over the entire door. WIthin the hour it was a heap of broken glass on the floor. It is possible.


Which glass is used in bullet proof screens?

It is usually made from a combination of two or more types of glass, one hard and one soft. The softer layer makes the glass more elastic, so it can flex instead of shatter. Bullet-resistant glass is usually constructed using polycarbonate,thermoplastic, and layers of laminated glass.

Why does a bullet makes a hole when it is fired at a glass?

Glass is usually made shatter proof in order too prevent long sharp pieces of glass injuring people. This is done by either applying a clear sheet of plastic too the glass, or the glass sheet is heated till just below the softening point and then cold air is blasted onto the glass, this way when the glass breaks into small chunks which would explain why in some cases the bullet only punctured a hole instead of shattering the whole sheet of glass.

How does sound from a vocal cord travel to a glass and shatter it?

The sound waves produced by the vocal chords contain energy and this energy is transmitted though the air to the glass, sound waves are pressure waves. The glass vibrates in resonance with the pressure variations and energy builds up in it to the point where it can shatter.
