There is actually no such thing as bullet proof glass, it is called Bullet resistant glass in the industry. Bullet resistant glass is designed to withstand one or several rounds of bullets depending on the thickness of the glass and the weapon being fired at it.
Depending on the thickness...It can be broke.
The ability of bullet-resistant glass to stop a bullet is determined by the thickness of the glass. A rifle bullet will collide with the glass with a lot more force than a bullet from a handgun, so a thicker piece of bullet-resistant glass would be needed to stop a rifle bullet as opposed to a handgun bullet.
Different manufacturers make different variations of bullet-resistant glass, but it is basically made by layering a polycarbonate material between pieces of ordinary glass in a process called lamination. This process creates a glass-like material that is thicker than normal glass. Polycarbonate is a tough transparent plastic -- often known by the brand name Lexan, Tuffak or Cyrolon. Bullet-resistant glass is between 7 millimeters and 75 millimeters in thickness. A bullet fired at a sheet of bullet-resistant glass will pierce the outside layer of the glass, but the layered polycarbonate-glass material is able to absorb the bullet's energy and stop it before it exits the final layer.

As I work at a Nuclear Power Station on the west coast; defensive positions were installed within the station. I noticed that the glass, which is really a type of ballistic plastic is multi-layered. As many here have stated, a continuous concentrated pounding in the same small area will eventually weaken the layers until the "glass" is weak and thin enough to where bullets will pierce through. However, the bullets have to be of a high enough caliber and retain enough if it's velocity it cause the intended damage.

Bullet proof glass isnt glass.
Its plastic.
Breaking it usualy involves heat
Hitting it in exactly the same spot over and over might work as well.
The real thing is most objects will bounce off of it, hammers... crowbars, bullets, heads, ect.. So, it bends instead of breaking, in order to break it you need massive power over minimal surface area to pierce it. High powered sniper rifles at a direct *not glancing* angle will often do this. A soldering iron and some paitience you can also penetrate it.

Get a bigger bullet.
"Bullet proof" glass also known as lexan
is "rated" for a certain size bullet at a certain distance.
if you get closer or use a more powerful projectile
then the ratings go out the window.
Even then it won't "Break" meaning shatter.
you will merely pentrate it leaving a hole.

Use bullet proof glass bullets.

Armour-piercing rounds, or simply very large/heavy ones.
"Bullet-proof" glass is actually "bullet-resisting"... it's made of layers of glass and plastic... the plastic layers absorb the energy of the bullet. But, obviously, any material has its limits. so a heavy enough round will penetrate. I'm thinking "Nitro Express" here...

More, bigger, faster bullets. Seriously though, its not really bullet "proof" glass, more just like "common caliber resistant" glass.

Make the bullet to generate extra heat so that the glass will break due to differential expansion.

Buletproof glass is essentially plastic so U'll have to employ largel force over an even smaller area...
