Hello,
Sorry, not contributing in any way. Just looking for some opinions. Please look at these pictures. Would you be able to tell me if this hole is caused by a firearm of any sort ?

Ok, so. This window is single glazed about 851mm in width and 1046mm in height and I think about 8 mm in thickness - seems pretty solid as kids keep flinging their toys at other windows sometimes and its been alright. The window is in Australia - so its kind of a big deal to discharge (or even own) a firearm in a residential area. So the police didn't even want to come out and look assuming it to be a vandal who has thrown a rock. But all my mates who have looked at it think it could be from a gun. The following are facts and observations :
The fence 6 feet high is at least 12-15 feet away from the window. So it couldn't have been a kid. The next door neighbours are not well so they don't even step out of the house.
On the inside, didn't find a pellet or a bullet casing. We have got a robot vacuum cleaner and checked its trash can - didn't have anything other than trash.
There are children's toy boxes next to/under the window, so if the pellet just hit the window and fell inside then its lost forever with the numerous (some of them broken) toys. No other damage to other walls following the trajectory of the projectile. Nothing in the window sill or the frame either.
Didn't find any projectile on the outside. There is concrete for about 6 feet outside the window, beyond which there is a little garden with rocks and stuff. There was nothing on the concrete, so if something bounced off the window it bounced at least 6 feet away.
I am just trying to find what could have caused such a hole.
Could a rock thrown with a sling shot do this ? There is no lawn to mow - so no lawn mower did it.
Didn't find the projectile. I would think its too hard for a bird to cause this damage. No dead bird found either.
The only possibility could be an air gun/rifle. So am here to get an opinion from people who are more experienced to guns. What do you think caused this ?
Cheers
