me and my mate were discussing a typical guy subject.You know "what would you do in a zombie attack?" I said the usual thing barricade your house and get supplies. He said that he would go sit in his dads Volvo v70 because then he could sleep in it and drive around unharmed. I felt inclined to tell him this was ridiculous as surely if that were the case then everybody would go sit in a Volvo! Well basically he insisted that a zombie could not punch through a car window (side and rear) as they are reinforced in case of a crash. Am i the one being stupid or is he?
i doubt u could punch through it, try hitting on with a hammer and see what happens!
am not saying its impossible but you would have to be very confident in smashing it otherwise you would break your hand!
He speaks some truth, they are strong, but its not impossible to break a car window, I know a lad who couldn't break a side window with his fist, so he headbutted it and broke it instead.

would a zombie care if he broke his hand i mean judging by 28 weeks later they dont seem to feel much pain :L
front window is laminated, the rest aint. you can punch through a side window *not that ive ever done it before :)*

its very hard to punch through a car window, as theres flex in it, its easily possible from the inside due to the way it curves
i chucked a hammer at a novas side window when i was 14, it bounced :(

yea close enough :) cant really remember what they were we used to flick at them but they used to shatter
I heard about using ceramic pieces to shatter a car window but I never knew it worked that easy :eek: just a quick flick can shatter one? (Side window obviously)

its not quite that easy lol
but retards use that way when they want something from in the car without getting attention, they'll walk past a few times throwing ceramic pieces, when it hits it the right way, said window goes through

why do you want to know?
I got locked out of my mk7 Escort once with the engine running. The central locking had an annoying habit of 'bouncing' (said habit started this night) lol.
It was in the middle of winter and I was putting air in the tyres at a closed Supermarket garage. I tried to put the rear passenger window through by swinging the end of the tyre inflator at it several times and it bounced off.
Then a police Foucs came past, I flagged him down and persuaded him to lend me his key so I could open my door (locks had no tumblers in)
If only the cop knew I was running on cherry. lol

Can a man not be curios? lol

Cops have keys to open all cars?
Self PWND there dude. Read it again. lol (and understand crap Ford locks lol)
:( tired, read it wrong :cry:
lol. All Ford keys are able to lock any lock though I do believe.

when u say reinforced, do you mean laminated ? as there hard as nails.
standard windows are weak tho and a tonk in the right spot will shatter em into a thousand bits.
Who cares?
The only thing I'd use a car for is to get down the nearest hardware shop and bag the biggest chainsaw going.

All ford keys can lock any ford car, but they only open the one they are made for. I have tested this and it does work.

You need some rep for that !
when the locks wear you can open ford locks with any thing really, used to use a 5mm head screwdriver on the old transit !
you can punch through car side windows easily enough.

I can remember watching the yanky police programme one day, and a thief was cought out with a bait car !! he got out through the window buy punching the glass a few times with his top round his fist he was one big mofo though
This thread sucks.
Spark plugs dont break windows, I've tried numerous times.
You can punch a window through, ive done this an broke a knuckle.
You can easily smash one from the inside out aswell.
Hammers dont like car windows, i shatterd my face trying this as the hammer bounced off.
As for the Ford locks earlier on lol well, you can fricked open them with just about anything really.

I'm sure it's possible to smash a car window (side ones) using ones body although it will probably end up breaking a body part. Front window would be almost impossible, need at least a sledge hammer and many blows. If the volvo has security filmed windows then yep no problem, zombie proof. Although... on 2 fast 2 furious Tyreese (Rome) did it pretty easy on the Ferrari by wrapping his hand in his manly shirt (sugar glass anyone?) lol
^ ive smashed a windscreen with my shoulder :)
And a drivers side window with my face :) so it is defiently possible from the inside lol

Not true, i kicked a windscreen through on a Nova years ago, was very easy, just sat down in the car and pushed like **** in the middle of the screen,.. then it just went crack and pushed through!

From the outside homie! Zombie in the car with you whilst a Zombie attack is going on and you trying to escape = FAIL

nova windscreens are useless, you can smash them just by looking at them

Thanks RJ, anything to make you feel better ;) :d
Standard Nova windscreens may be poop but I hope my heated one is a damn sight better. Still I'd rather have a windscreen lol
Still in saying that my original windscreen has fared well in the last 24 years, not one stone chip/crack etc Just has this annoying mark up top, looks like a wiper lost it's rubber and scratched it :( otherwise mint.

And letting passengers in and out lol
It took me 3 trys to kick one thru with rigger boots on... They can take a surprising amount of force.

Well youre going about it in the wrong fashion, i used a passing drunk to remove mine, after he shattered it with his body it simply pushed out with my feet lol

Yea i was suprised how far i went throught one at 55 mph. Got one side of my body thru it before i caved the roof skin in.
Tuff old things they are. Unless your inside the car hitting it then there not so bloody hard :d

it was so close i blinked lol
The reason hammers/feet etc are difficult to put through a side window is the surface area.
Something pointy smashes glass much much easier... (more pressure focused onto a small point)

its not as hard as it looks, you have to have the right punching technique and hardened knuckles. lol if you do an average townie punch you will have either a broken thumb or broken little finger knuckle lol
