Here's an actual training video with more definitive results:

Most anything will go through glass.
In that particular situation the driver did the right thing, IMO. Better to just turn around, if possible.I could look up the video and share it with you all, but I saw a situation last week where a protestor was standing in the road in the low ready position with a pistol. He had a group with him. Not quite pointing it at the driver yet but warning him he wasnt getting through. sure the driver could have attempted to run him over (and unarmed next to him), was this guy the only one with a gun? who knows. Bad scenario all around. In the video the driver slowly did a 3 point turn around while they threw things at his car.
There is a LEO tactics instructor named William Petty who has developed what has come to be a premier training course in responding to an ambush or encounter while you're inside a vehicle. The name of the course is "Vehicle CQB", and it is an extremely well thought out and data driven curriculum.MikeGoob said:"Just a lot of thoughts these days about having to leave an area where I am staying, and how perhaps, my way would be blocked by possibly armed people. Would you want a pistol caliber carbine? SBR? Is a high cap handgun just fine?
I know many say a car is a fine equalizer against people on foot, and sure it can be. My cars are all low to the ground city cars, so theres that.
Anyway, I keep rolling around in my head what would be the most ideal tool to have handy in case the time comes to get out of dodge quickly via car, through the streets. Thanks"
You may just shoot yourself in the foot if you try to shoot through the windshield from inside the car.
Ear plugs and eye protection. If you've never fired a gun inside a car, it's an eye-opening experience. Incredibly loud. And bright. It also makes you appreciate that most Hollywood stuff is fake.If you had to shoot through a windshield from inside car--recommendations?
