The only " fire TV" I know was an experiment I performed with a 20 gauge shotgun and a flat screen CRT (old style tube).
A guy I knew claimed he had accidentally taken out a screen with a pellet gun.
I had the same TV, that had bad audio - so I put the TV up on the edge of the dumpster - and shot it from about 50 foot.
It blew the TV into the dumpster, and shredded the cabinet.
But - as I suspected - it did NOT break the glass. Those flat screen CRTs were tough, thick, hardened glass. They had to be to withstand the vacuum inside.
The dude made up the story about the pellet gun. I' m betting he used a ball peen hammer and didnt want to admit to his old lady that he did it intentionally.
