Breaking Windows Needs A Revamp.

Also, high modded guns can break glass too. My sicarus can do it in one shot, along with my lex.

You are forgetting that the equation is Pressure = Force over an Area. With an atmospheric pressure of 15 pounds per square inch trying to rapidly evaquate a pressure vessel (the spaceship) a human sized tenno with an average surface area of 20 square feet will be subjected to approximately 216,000 pounds of force! I assure you, anyone without really good magnetic boots is going out that window.

1. That's only if you're right on top of the window. The farther away from the opening, the lesser the effect.

2. That force translates roughly into a light punch, albeit one that's felt all across one plane of the body.

3. We have reason to assume Tenno don't have ridiculously powerful magnetic/gravitic boots? What with how they run along walls for as long as their stamina holds out? With how they can walk up a vertical surface some several feet up?

1. That would be true if it was only a small hole, but the entire wall sized window breaks, causing extremely rapid decompresion

2. Again, it's force over AREA. A punch only applies across a few square inches, the E.D. aplies that force over the ENTIRE AREA multiplying the pressure by at least 2 orders of magnitude.

3. Considering they can wall run on glass, plastic and rock, materials that are not ferromagnetic, it would seem magnetic boots are not involved.

And gravity doesn't work like that, it forms "wells" proportionate to mass. If they are gravity boots, they would drag everything towards them at 1G, assuming an earth sized virtual mass. That seems like a less reasonable explanation than space ninja skills.

it should at least extinguish fire and sucked nearby items
