Holy batman!
A BB gun and it only killed the glass? Impressive glass, Apple.
Or must be some weak BBs/gun

No sir-ee captain!
Apple will not replace a device that has been dropped/cracked under warranty, they will but not for free.
I believe their iPod flat rate is ~$149, their iPhone is ~$210, and up it goes.

Thanks
Personally, I have fixed one first generation iPad 3G, and numerous iPhones & iPods.
They're pretty straightforward, as long as you know what you're doing.
My first iPod repair, I ended up replacing the client's as it was just destroyed (killed the LCD, and some other things, but I'm pretty sure the fact that it was washed, then repaired, it was it's time to go).
iPads are a bit more difficult considering they are larger.
What exactly broke?
The outer 'glass', aka digitizer, or the actual screen, aka LCD.
LCD will always be expensive, somewhat.
Looks like the digitizers themselves are about $50, and the LCD's are about $50, or at least this is from the person/source I usually buy my parts from.
This is for iPad 1/2.
Either way, it will be much better to replace it DIY, than to take it to the Apple Store, and pay out of your butt.
