    I'm non LE and Ive shot into a car. It's not the most likely scenario but it can happen in a variety of likely scenarios.

    I have to admit that's crossed my mind also.
    We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.

    I'd try an independent glass shop if you can find one. They're a dying breed but they have far less corporate policy bullshit.

    I got a cracked windshield free from a salvage yard. The crack is in one corner so it won't hurt anything.

    The down side is the glass is curved so it will be difficult to get a consistent angle shot after shot or later on down the road when this one is no longer useful.

    Yikes. Trying to cut the cracked part off the windshield doesn't work very well. There's no way to lay the glass flat on my work table so it just cracks worse. Still I think I have a fairly workable piece that's not cracked in the center.

    I will try to shoot tomorrow. Maybe Monday at the latest.

    $15.95 @SGammo. Best price I have seen.

    Some FDs use a blade like a giant hacksaw to cut windshield glass and it works well while the windshield is in the car. I don't know how many TPI the blade has or if it would work with a windshield not in a frame, but we have some FFs on this forum that might be able to tell you.

    I'll call an actual glass shop tomorrow and see what a piece of flat AS1 glass costs.

    Six pieces of AS1 laminated safety glass cost me $80. These are flat plates that measure 12X16" in size. The plates are fairly pricey but I'm hoping this batch will last awhile. I'm hoping to get three or four shots per plate.

    My plan now is to visit the local hardware store and buy some various pieces of 3/4" PVC to make a frame to set the glass on. My plan is to use a couple 45-degree elbows at the bottom and stick some arms in that extend up and support the glass. The glass and PVC contraption can be set on a table or on the ground in front of the block. Being made of PVC it should be light and easily carried. I won't glue anything together so it can be taken apart for transport and so parts can be replaced if damaged.
