Can someone explain to me why at 13:14 in the NZ shooter video, he shoots his own front windshield 3 times with a shotgun point blank and it does not break?

Windshields are made with a laminate on them so that they don't shatter when impacted. He could be running slugs instead of birdshot through his shotgun, so when shooting through the windshield, it easily pierces right through. Although video quality is low, I do observe cracking around the area where he shot through. Looks like what would happen when shooting through a windshield. I've hit one before and cracks were localized to the impact area. The long cracks you see in windshields generally occur over time due to thermal cycling.
