I thought catapult. Which is mentioned further down the story.

I drive down that road with family.

Some of the local youths are little sh*ts who take advantage of the national failure to deal with their type severely.

I agree it doesn't look like airgun damage and could certainly cause injury.

Big entry hole that !
Might have to try that with a couple of windows someday.

There's no way that was a 12ft/lb air rifle.
30+ft/lb with piledriver maybe, but id guess it was a rimfire.

Might test it myself as i have two old side windows in my garden, relics of a vitara i wrote off years ago.
I'd bet a .22 lead pellet wont go through even one.

ball bearing from catapult

I live right next to Salisbury Plain training area and also work for the MOD it took two years to get permission to shoot on it. Every weekend I see young lads out with rifles an catapults. When you tell them that what they are doing is not allowed you either get verbally abused or a slap.

The MoD got shot of the land wardens a couple of years ago a stupid move. They have Now realised it and have brought in MOD plod who now patrol.

A couple of months ago two morons were out on the plain me mde a stupid decision to point there rifles at the armed guard. They were very lucky not to get slotted ARVs all over the place which royally trashed my nights shooting.

are some bus windows not double glazed too?

2As an ex full-bore rifle and pistol shooter, (before that moron Blair banned handguns!)
I would say that there is no way on earth that was fired by an air weapon, CO2, pump up or even using an air weapon SABO ROUND.
I WOULD PUT MONEY ON IT BEING A HIGH VELOCITY ROUND PROBABLY FIRED FROM A RIFLE. jacketed 5.56mm SA 80 but more likely 7.62mm AK47 (as I am sure many of those have mysteriously found their way here from Afghanistan etc)
Low velocity lead bullet would probably have shattered the window rather than punching a hole in it.
ARU needs to get on top of this a bit smartly!

Wow! We've got Quincy on the case.
Someone must have missed him off the scramble list.

Some of the comments are crazy. I gave up reading them.
