Using a vehicle as a shield

[chaim]

Like others said, engine then wheels. Everything else is sheet metal, plastic and glass, not exactly good cover (though some is possibly good concealment if it is your only option or you have to move).

Start the car and drive away.

Paul Howe has an article at combatshootingandtactics.com about this. It's worth a look.

"...Bullets don't bounce..." Certainly not in any reliable direction.
Kinda like to see the look on an insurance agent's face when somebody makes a claim for body damage due to gun fire.

If I am going to use a car for cover I am going to make sure it's someone else's car. ;-)
I agree with about everyone else. The engine block is about the only thing that will stop a bullet. Watched a you tube video showing a 9mm going through the length of a car (back to front) and it ended up in the dashboard.

What If I don't have the keys? Hey you don't think im gonna use my own car for cover do you?
