    Not a big deal, but windshields aren't tempered. They're made of two pieces of normal, untempered glass that is cut then bent into windshield shape, then a layer of plastic (polyvinyl butyryl) is inserted between the glass layers and the entire sandwich is put into a giant autoclave (a pressure cooker, basically) where it melts and fuses the lites together. You can tell it's not tempered because windshields will chip or crack but don't explode in the way that a side or rear window does. You want the windshield to break and cave in but not explode in the event that either a sizeable object or a person hits it from either side.

I'd post a link of the video I'm going to recommend, but it will just be deleted by Google. it's made by whoteewhoo, and it's called 30.30vs .308 vs 30.06 vs 300wsm water test.
      it shoes that the heavy slow 30.30 goes pretty far with its slow heavy bullet.
      also I'd recommend looking at the aps under water rifle. it was a rifle designed for under water firefights... (the cold War was a weird time) I don't remember how far they went under water, but it was impressive. the idea was since bullets don't travel well in water because the bullets speed is slowed down tremendously in water, they would make it fire darts. heavier darts made to be heavy enough to push through water, but have enough speed to do harm. there is an entertaining video I'm going to look for on something like this some guys made. idk if I'll find it.

      I remember a kid brought a sample of bulletproof glass as a show and tell and they mentioned it was 7 panes thick glued together. I'm curious how the result would differ if they stacked the glass so it was touching each other. The cloud of shrapnel wouldn't be clearing the way for the bullet and it would be great to get a shot of a bullet stuck part way through the last pane coming at the camera.

Still incredible footage you guys capture with this one.
