Hey,
Gunsite Academy spends 1 day out of it’s 5 day B.R.A.V.E. course on inside and around your vehicle assault defense. Needless to say it’s very comprehensive, detailed and intense, right down to the proper way to unbuckle your seat-belt the correct way.
You have a lot of great questions here, every single one of them.
P365 is correct on deflections through glass, especially tempered glass.
I guess if I were to help and give any advise that I learned was to “Get out of the vehicle as quick as you can” It’s basically a coffin on wheels. An interesting note, when we did this training inside the vehicles, the sound of gun fire even with hearing protection was nothing like I have ever experienced.
I just don’t know how to answer them here in this forum, how do you condense 9 hours of intense training into words. Mind boggling,
They are doing a defense from inside a vehicle seminar at the Expo this year. Since I frequently travel through St Louis, I signed up for it. Every auto glass other than the windshield will shatter. The windshield is layered glass and plastic to prevent shattering. That’s why I keep a second spare mag, with ball Ammo in it when headed to St Louis. Ball, and round like Extreme Penetrators and Extreme Defenders are barrier blind.
Dozens and Dozens of you-tube videos on dozens and dozens different make, model and flavor of rounds by people with more information, time, money and equipment then I have. That’s why I carry Hornady Critical Defence and or Critical Duty. And it works flawlessly in all of my hand guns.
