Automatic (spring loaded) center punches break windows with little to no effort. I think it's been discussed on here before that some police/fire opt for these.
So you have heard good things about their guns?
About drilling the vent. This isn't a big deal at all but one thing you MUST do is use a center punch before drilling so that your bit won't wander. I find that even if I'm using a drill press a nice dimple makes it so much easier. I use this one.
