Corrected entry: When Peter tries to rescue the girl from the tank at the end, he fires several bullets into the glass but it doesn't break. So then he finds an iron bar to hit it with, and the glass shatters. Even if you argue that the bullets must have weakened the glass, anything capable of withstanding the velocity of a bullet would surely need more force than one man can muster in order to shatter it.

Correction: Not necessarily. In the same way that some brands of bulletproof vests will stop a bullet, even at close range, but not stop a knife, the force expended by a bullet is focused on one tight area. A heavier, slower impact may indeed break glass where a bullet doesn't. I used to drive an armored car that had bulletproof glass. It resisted even high powered rifle bullets, but still had to be replaced every couple of years due to rock chips from the highway. Just an example of how a slower impact can still affect objects.
