I know I'm new to the whole survival enthusiast game, so I hope the more seasoned people here don't bash me too badly for pitching my two cents in.

I've run across quiet a beautiful knife that has a tip on the handle that can break glass, it's small so I don't know if that matters or not but it's just something for consideration if you want to cut down on the amount of stuff you have to carry. Also the knife has the perfect tip for stabbing in fights and a serrated edge for any less violent activity.

Not just car glass but office windows too. say you work in an office on the 3rd floor and u have your GHB under your desk, there is a problem and the way out is blocked. i have 50 feet of strong repelling rope in my bag in case i have to clime down. then again you don't have to worry about being low-key, just toss that dang computer out the window like you wish you could.

even if you think one would cause trouble with the local LEO and you didn't buy or couldn't afford to buy a Bust a cap ends for your light then just use the back of your light, you don't need a fancy end cap to break a window or like i said above a strong pen would do the trick as well

i kinda doubt it because on the ones ive seen the firing pin does not extend past the lip

you might be able to just put a strong steel pen in the bag though

Oh, and gloves are a must for any of the above methods. Eye protection would be good too.

Smith and Wesson make a couple knives with built in window punches. I have the Boarder Guard, which also has a seatbelt cutter. It's a really big and kind of heavy knife, but if you're looking for a more inconspicuous window punch, no one is going to question your need for a single blade folding knife in your pocket. I picked mine up at Big 5 on sale for under $20.

Love the bust a cap! Have one on my streamlight stinger and it works very well. Hardly any effort needed to take out a car window (except the windshield). Here is the website: http://www.bustacap.net/

I have an SOG Seal Team Elite Knife that has the hardened polymer handle and an ~7" blade. I paid about $85 for it on Amazon (normally about $155). I love it and it has many uses.

if your stuck in a car and you cant get out and you dont seem to have something to smash a window with use the head rest. if you take your headrest off your seat the metal prongs can be used to break the window.

Mythbusters are great and if I'm remembering the episode you're talking about that is when they dropped a car into a pool to test how to get out of it. Very cool.

I've got the emergency hammer (with seatbelt cutter) in the storage space in my drivers side door always.
