I have no experience with "A/C Window Bullet Impact". Have seen

"Spidering
due Debris" from "uncontained engine failures. Have seen, dealt with the
aftermath of encounters between fighter type A/C & large birds such as
"Buzzards, Eagles, or other large carrion Feeders.


I have seen some of those. They make quite a mess.

The "Windshields of Southern 232", a DC-9, were broken out along with
"Catastrophic Engine Damage" by hail at altitude resulting in a

catastrophic
incident. Many "Hail Stones of ~3" Diameter were in the cockpit when we
arrived on scene within ~ 7 minuets of the incident. There were

substantial
"Dents/Dings" in the rear cockpit bulkhead from the "Hail Stones".


You've probably seen the Easyjet pics:
