So I was surprised we didn't have something like this. A relatiively common trope in urban fantasy is being thrown through a windshield or a character destroying one, so I decided to calc it.

It can be found here. We don't currently have values for types of glass, so I had to look around. Pinging @KLOL506 since I used his method for bone breaking and wanted to make sure I got every value correct.

Looks fine at a glance mathematically speaking (For the laminated glass values anyway), but the windshield being fragged as a whole is a bit... eh. But I'll tag the boys that have most experience with this to check out as well.

Edit: Spino actually made a calc once. But the glass portion is unusable now because, well, no more glass frag or v. frag feat due to not following the standards of other materials and somesuch and can't absorb much energy or something.
 
Also one of your links say "building", not sure if that'd be the same glass as the one used in cars, because AFAIK cars these days are also using Gorilla Glass or some other uber-tough glass.
