Re: Glass Bottle vs. 9 mm Parabellum
I would not give glass IT:Homogeneous. I guess when I think of unliving things as having IT: Homogeneous, I think of things where poking a hole in it does not destroy the functionality thereof. You can shoot a tin (Dr. Watson's dispatch box, perhaps) box or a wooden barrel with a 9mm, and probably put a hole in it. However, you haven't destroyed the box's ability to hold papers or the barrel's ability to hold dried fish. You'll have to put a lot more holes in them before they break down enough to no longer be functional. OTOH, it should be pretty easy to shatter a glass bottle with one decent shot. Thin glass probably should not be IT:Homogeneous.
