I mean there must be other verbs to specifically describe this. I was thinking how I could use words like "shard", "scatter", "smash".
There's not much you can do to the opening but you can certainly improve "broke" and "pieces".
He dropped the bottle on the floor, where it shattered, scattering hundreds of shards across the tiles.
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
