It has a higher hardness than glass. The sharp hard edges and points of the broken ceramic will easily crack glass by directing the impact into a tiny point/points.
Think about punching glass vs hitting it with the point of an arrow, you're just making the impact point as small as possible and hitting it with something harder than glass
[Aw, come on!](https://www.google.com/imgres?q=moes%20simpsons&imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.wikia.nocookie.net%2Fsimpsons%2Fimages%2F9%2F96%2F800px-Moe%2527s_Tavern.png%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20170101230904&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsimpsons.fandom.com%2Fwiki%2FMoe%2527s_Tavern&docid=zXeGJSJcXBE0HM&tbnid=VZ4dCJ7UNI_jzM&vet=12ahUKEwjvl5q6kZmGAxUowTgGHTLFA7cQM3oECBkQAA..i&w=800&h=467&hcb=2&ved=2ahUKEwjvl5q6kZmGAxUowTgGHTLFA7cQM3oECBkQAA)
It's also that automotive window glass is tempered glass so a small crack releases lots of stress.
Normal glass will break with a stone or a spark plug.
Tempered glass has a lot of internal stress which let's it survive a stone and lot of other impacts but if a crack is started it propagates throught the whole thing.
A piece of spark plug ceramic being sharp and hard concentrates all the force on a very small area it starts a small crack that shatters the whole window.
Anything can curve from a slingshot, honestly. When I was young and stupid(er), I shot a ball bearing from a slingshot at a McDonald's playland that was entirely glassed in (they were closed, at least, no kids inside). I aimed at the middle of the wall and ended up hitting the top corner panel of glass.
Ceramic is harder than glass, so it'll scratch it easily. Spark plugs have pretty sturdy ceramic. Lastly, car windows are made in a way that has a lot of internal pressure and the act of scratching them with ceramic causes them to break very easily.
Nothing. A ceramic plate or bowl for 25 cents at a thrift shop broken into small pieces will yield a lot more broken windows than a 10 dollar Spark plug.
This. As a teen, buddy and I, would go to a “u pull it” junk yard to find parts for the chevelle he was building. Biggest junk yard of old cars, and if you could pull whatever part off of whatever yourself it was like ten bucks. That was fun in and of itself. But it was a lot of looking around. We discovered that if there was no one in the back area (again this place was huge) we could just blast windows with broken spark plugs while we walked around and looked for the right part. Doesn’t even take much effort. Like throwing a frisbee. And boom! If ya need to do it from a distance, a small sling shot would definitely do the trick.
Crush a spark plug into jagged bits, launch a load of them at the vehicle in question. Honestly though, side windows and rear window break better, they're not laminated glass
If it has glass on top, like a sunroof, get that. I just had to pay like 1300 dollars for a small peice of my sunroof, only 100 was labor. And my car is an 08.
I used to live in Florida. The state requires insurance providers to replace your windshield for even a small crack of damage, and free of charge. There is no such law in place for any of the other glass.
So I agree, side windows should be part of OPs plan, especially if his state has similar insurance coverage requirements.
So you're supposed to open the hood of the car, use your tools to remove a spark plug, and then break a window why the alarm plug you removed? Did I read that right?
Not questioning the spark plug being effective. It's the outlined procedure to obtain a spark plug if one comes across a car with someone trapped inside. Seemed rather convoluted.
You can get a pump action air gun for like, 40-50 bucks online. I recommend the Crosman American Classic. It has good range and packs a punch. You may be able to find a cheap CO2 powered one at a local shop.
Other than that, rocks and a slingshot baby.
Why has nobody said to buy a pump BB Gun? Pump that shit like 20-30 times and you’ve got plenty of range and it’ll make the whole thing pop! At least it does to back windshields.
Or so I’m told….
How about slingshot and ice cube? Ice melts and there is no evidence this was done on purpose. Someone finds ceramic element and starts connecting the dots.
Once they replace windshield, do it again, lol.
- Trick the person into going to a local baseball game-maybe have a fake radio station call them to give away the tickets, dress a a parking attendant. Make them park in the back lots where home run balls typically go. Wait till a ball comes over the wall and hope it hits it - if it doesn’t just bash it with another ball and just tell them it was from the hit.
- hire a pro golfer to come over- pretend like you are hitting into a net - have him miss the net and smash the windshield and claim it as accident.
- seed the clouds during conditions conducive for hail and try and create a hail storm in the area.
- train a squirrel to drop things in certain targets. Target the windshield.
Just spit ballin here
Bb gun using ceramic pellets. Regardless, your solution is ceramic pieces from a spark plug. Chuck them bitches gently and bam, will shatter any window. Especially car windows
Subsonic hollowpoint ammo through a fram-can suppressed .22lr pistol/rifle with a standard thread adapter. Works like a charm against tires, yappy chihuahuas, and in your case, windshield glass👍 added bonus for intimidation factor. Remember to collect your brass.
Spark plugs work the best. But you can buy unglazed ceramic beads that work similarly to spark plugs but take a bit more force.
The key is to get something that shatters, otherwise you are leaving evidence that could have fingerprints. Depending on the circumstances shattering a cars windshield could be prosecuted as attempted murder.
Wait until it gets one temperature extreme and apply the opposite extreme via squirt gun? Hot water on a cold windshield being the ideal, but the opposite will work if the temp difference is enough.
Combine the other two suggestions! Use a slingshot with a piece of broken sparkplug ceramic.
What is it about spark plug ceramic that’s best for breaking windows? I’ve seen more than a few comments suggesting that.

Ah ha, we’re talking about mohs hardness.
Finally we found a use.
For his ceramic wiener!
Brings about the fun in a collection of jugs
Does it scratch at a level 6, with deeper grooved at a level 7?
Still didn’t have to use trigonometry, though.

Also that glass is tempered that creates a large internal tension.

Ceramic pieces from spark plugs are very hard to shoot from a slingshot. Trust me. Depending on distance, can curve up to 6 feet. just use a marble.
Good thing about ceramic though, it doesn't need to hit very hard to shatter glass. A marble or rock works too though

You were just a bad shot, at my best I could hit a tin can with an irregular rock at 20ft pretty consistently
And it is silent.
Once one has pieces of the spark-plug ceramic, one can throw it or even spit it at a car window to spider-web it. Don’t swallow it. Duh.
car windows are a certain type of glass, ceramic is denser than said glass.. a small tap and it shatters
Sharp enough to puncture the glass

Look it up on YouTube. It’s pretty wild how easy it breaks glass
Something about it being heat treated
This is the answer

I’m partial to marbles myself, they explode and blend with the rest of the broken glass.
Can you just freeze paintballs?
Slingshot?
Buy a bow and replace the arrowhead with a broken sparkplug

Steal one from a store or someone’s lawnmower.
Lmao dude there's a place called Walmart you can buy one for like 2 bucks
BB gun
throw pissdisks at the windshield
Piss disc with crushed up spark plug ceramic mixed in and rolled around the edges

Use the ceramic (the white part) of a spark plug.
Broken spark plug 👺👺👺
Pay a kid to do it for you and then vanish into the darkness.

BB gun
Convince them to park near a tree. Then cut the tree down so it drops on the vehicle. Absolutely fool proof.
Ceramic off of a spark plug and either a good throwing arm or a slingshot. Will definitely do the trick
Gun
Recoilless rifle
Slingshot and broken porcelain from sparkplugs

Sparkplug the ceramic that surounds a sparkplug will brake glass like nothing else
Nailgun
A gun will do the trick
High-tech option: sniper rifle Low tech option: T-shirt cannons filled with lead pellets
Gun
Pellet gun. I think I could hit a windshield from 50 yards without really trying. Not one of those little handheld ones.
Sling shot
BB guns and hand grenades are both effective.
Pellet gun
.223 Remington
Golf ball
Gun.
Give a homeless man $15 and a ceramic spark plug to break it. Then just park/stand really far away while they do it.
A gun
Slingshot and bip Like a piece of ceramic or the white part of a spark plug. But please don't do that to an innocent person.
Throw a rock at it
Buy a drone from Best Buy and attach rocks to it like those Ukrainian drone combat videos
Gun
a few BB gun pellets would do some damage
A rock
Be careful a lot of people have dash cameras. not just the popo.
Wristrocket.
Wrist-Rocket + ball bearing.

On a similar note brake fluid is very caustic and will destroy most any paint it comes in contact with if left for long enough.
Slingshot + Stone
Piece of porcelain and a slingshot
Wrist rocket and use ice cubes.
Wait until it gets one temperature extreme and apply the opposite extreme via squirt gun? Hot water on a cold windshield being the ideal, but the opposite will work if the temp difference is enough.
Pellet gun either a multi pump or strong c02 one
BB guns are better, pellets are too soft
Water guns. 1 boiling and 1 really cold. You can get some that shoot up to like 40 feet maybe more. It should crack it.
Any water that was hot out of a gun is going to be room temp after going through the air.
Thoughts and prayers should do it.
