"There are other means by which to breach a window — an asp baton, a flashlight, ceramic pellets," Flory said. "Using a handgun (to break a car window), especially with your finger on the trigger, is not normal."
Perhaps someone on here can enlighten me....How big are these ceramic pellets and how are they deployed?
