Shooting through glass

[kraigWY]

If you decide to do a bit of "carjacking" don't depend on the glass to protect you from pistol ammo.

As this video proves.

Can you post it again? It links I a site, but no article or video. At least not on my end.

Yeah, didn't watch the video but anyone that considers glass of any type (other than ballistic reinforced) as hard cover deserves what they get...

I have spent a lot of time shooting various types of glass with various weapons.

You would be amazed at how effective a large caliber pistol is against vehicle glass and bodywork.

Wow. I watched that chase go up Sunset. Didn't know it ended so dynamically.

Dead carjacker. Excellent. To bad about the car.

Re: Shooting through glass

Spend a lot of time practicing shooting targets that use cars for "cover" with a 357 Sig pistol. There is nothing in most cars that can stop the round from hitting it's mark....including in many situations the block. And the shrapnel thrown from door panels and glass get just as much penetration....

At NFA car shoots we are inside shooting 180* out, at moving targets. The response of first time shooters is priceless, most of the time
"Glass is a blast" has meaning when inside shooting out.

Can't be good but I suspect the hot lead in the face is worse.

Bodywork might as well be tissue paper against most anything 9mm or greater. Especially the light composites in use these days.

That's funny, trick to it.
Shooters are slotted best first an, worst/FNG's last, to level the field an give them a better learning curve on what works an what won't. No two shoots are the same, an past winners quickly get shuffled from the very front of the pack.
