Does Glass Break Faster Than a Bullet?

That's a pretty slow bullet (I'm assuming it's a spicy 9mm). It should be possible to load rifle cartridges that are fast enough to make the race interesting.

I'd try the Weatherby .220 Swift but I think it'd still lose to the glass. The 120mm smoothbore main gun on the M-1 Abrams tank fires a depleted-uranium penetrator rod that can get near 6000 ft/sec. That'd win.

There's a link in the video to one where they compare different projectile speeds - up to, iirc, a 50cal
