I'm no ballistics expert, but bullets move very quickly, so it makes sense to me that they'd shatter glass with enough enough force to break the skin.

I don’t think so. With the distance between the person and the prompter, the shard would practically have to be carried by the bullet. And at that point, the glass is an accessory to the bullet that shot you.

And I also think that, if a bullet could break glass like that, it would break into absolutely tiny pieces, not significant enough to do the damage we “saw” here.

Again, big dumbass here. Just laying out the way I see it.

Yeah I don't have anything other then gut to go on, so I'm not going to argue. Either way seems at least possible
