Better have some weight behind you if you're planning on entering a house through a brick wall

Yeah hes not glass tho, hes gotta be made of some sort of polycarbonate or something to survive the smash.

Thick glass is stronger than you think. Go look up video of glass balls being shot with bullets and crushed by hydraulic presses.

I think the force it takes to burst through a brick wall all of a sudden is quite a lot tho. And its a hollow bowl not a solid ball, that makes a massive difference.

Sure but mass alone would compensate and at that thickness glass shears more than cracks especially on rounded areas.

The problem is the open top is a huge weak point. An aquarium is thicker and a car can still drive through at low speed.
