Tagged. This should be interesting.
(Hoping there is fuel in the tank and tracer ammo is involved.) |

This will end up being a legendary thread! Good stuff, keep it coming in.

I got to do this stuff at Blackwater back in January at a carbine course. Very interesting results (on a Volvo, by the way). Anyway, cars are concealment, not really cover.

Nice thread...
I'll keep an eye out for the next one. When do you plan to do it? |
|
Wow, something useful! Best thread I've seen on ARFCOM in a long time.

Conversly, shooting into a vehicle thru a windshield one should aim a bit higher than normal.
|
|
tag to see if you test the hollywood physics of open door = bulletproof and closed door = not bulletproof.
|
|
So, how are your ears holding up from shooting in such a confined space? Did it seem louder than your average indoor range?

tagged for more fun! Would love to see what a rifle round (5.56 or 7.62) would penetrate on a car, my guess is short of the engine block, it's not stopping...

That's what I was wondering. + tag |

Representing Deutschland, are we? I mean, was that a SIG? Not that I am in any way referring to umpimping ze auto, ja?

I assume that they were wearing hearing protection... |

GREAT THREAD...HIGH FIVE! I love it when I actually learn something usefull around here...tactically speaking.
|
|
Well, I assume so too, Mr. Smartypants! But one can still discern such things through muffs... |

The belt buckle is a good POA if you are looking for a high COM hit with pistol caliber.
eta: edited in light of second test. |

When do you have to return the rental?
Well done, and quite interesting thread, yes it should be a classic. How about Rifle ammo? |
|
Stay with me. We shot it A LOT. |
|
|
Well, my 1911 has been through enough classes that I decided to give her a break. |
|

The 9mm was, I believe, standard 115 grain ball. I don't know about the .40. Perhaps the ARFCOMers that were there can clarify that. |

The report was indeed a good bit louder than it was outside on the range, but in a wierd way. Outside you get an echo effect, where as inside the vehicle you get one big loud WHOOMP when you fire and it goes dead instantly. And yes, we were wearing hearing protection and eye protection. We are crazy. Not stupid.... |

We didn't shoot the glass with the rifle in this instance, but remember that the ligher the bullet is, the more deflection and fragmentation you get, so a 55 grain FMJ wouldn't do all that well through laminated glass. A .308 would do better. |
