For cars and busses you can use Window Punch Breakers. But what works punching through acrylic window?
Your feet. In my POH it’s mentioned that in case both doors are jammed, you can use your feet to break the rear window and escape.
Every Cirrus comes equipped with an emergency egress hammer, which is actually your standard craftsman’s hammer. So I guess that should work as well, though I was told by an instructor that you will need to frantically hammer away for maybe 20-30 seconds before seeing an effect.
I can’t speak for other designs but PA28 windows are only held in by flimsy clamping strips and whatever sealant has been used. Speaking from experience they are easy to crack and would certainly kick out with the sort of adrenaline available in an emergency.
