Some did it with bricks, too, even though that also didn’t make sense, as these bricks were not constructed to resist force applied to the edges, making them rather brittle too.
Lots of tactics were applied to do this, the simplest of which was always making sure there was a small gap between the surface and the object before hitting. This increased the force applied significantly, as the object was smashed down and thus broken more easily—which explains why there were
