Okay guys for this video
We're going to be talking about the myths and some of the positions that we will use to shoot from
Inside and around a vehicle the first scenario. We're going to cover is for whatever reason. We're in this direction of travel
we're going that way and
Something happens to the front we're not going to get into the the who or the what or the why,
Just whatever happens happens and I got to get out of this [vehicle]
But in the process of getting out of the vehicle [I] also want to reengage
I want to send rounds downrange to kill or to suppress the enemy. We're riding in the car naturally the door will be closed
We're going this way [for] whatever reason something happens. I want to reach over. I'll grab my gun
Avoiding flagging myself. I bring the gun up and over my shoulder now from here I can engage
Depending on the environment and your sops is whether or not you want accurate fire or whether or not suppressive fire is okay?
So I can engage from here the next thing that I can do is I can come over my shoulder again
And I want to lead out
I want to be able to shoot from the a pillar and the door the little crack that opens up there
and I want to lead with my muzzle first leave with my muzzle [in] eyes and then engage, so
Starting from here. I come over I reach for my [gun]
I come up and over my shoulder, and I actually lean out and then I
Can engage from here from here what we would do is we would want to get out of the vehicle and start breaking
Contact because vehicles are a bullet magnet and we want to get away from them
So let's go ahead and go to the front of the vehicle and discuss what we would do from there, okay guys
So now we're at the front of the vehicle now depending on what size of vehicle
What kind of vehicle you have is going to determine?
What kind of position how far forward and how you're going to exit the vehicle?
Naturally if you're in a soft skin, [low], sedan something like this
Then you're going to want to get out of the vehicle and stay low if you're an up-armored Suburban
The Suburban is a little bit taller [you] don't you're not going to have to crouch down so far
But what I wanted to do is I want to avoid getting right up
On the hood by getting right up on the hood more of my body is exposed
not only is more of my body exposed, but I'm
Vehicles are bullet magnets so therefore when rounds impact the vehicle they changed trajectory
They they lose velocity and they change trajectory
So if I have a if I'm right up on cover
Right up on this vehicle hood and rounds are impacting it rounds can skip off of Hoods
And I don't want to be right up on it. I want to be with in that safe deflection angle I am
Getting the same amount of cover available from this engine block by being off of it
But I'm not in that deflection angle I'm in the safe side of it
So what I want to do here is I want to try to align myself as much as [possible]
Along the the wheel Hub along the axial line the engine block [is] the only true piece of cover
But I have to worry about underneath of the vehicle as well
I'm worrying about any of the skipped rounds or any of the secondary fragmentation that can come up from underneath the vehicle.
So once I get in line with the axle as much as possible I can engage
My threats over there by I can poke up overtop the hood
But I don't call it turkey peeking almost remember that if I poke my head up over top [of] this hood
Not only can I see more
But more can see me
so the game of angles works both ways if
You do want to come up and over one of the things you don't want to do is
Try to Avoid a shoot with your gun straight up and down you actually want to rotate it and cant it to either side
Your gun has a sight and barrel
Difference, it's about a two and a half two point six inches depending on the optic insight that you're using then I have to take
In a reference, so this I can see the threat
But my barrel sees the car if I roll it over onto my side I can engage
and
nothing hits the vehicle
So from here I can take these shots but remember the more I can see the more that can see me
So [what] I can do I can start using some of the alternate firing position techniques, and I can shoot from underneath of the vehicle
Can also use the bumper line and I can start working my way out to in
Outside to inside from the bumper line, so I'm basically down here like this, and I start to work my way [out]
Trying to stay low and use that engine line and engage
That shooting from the front of the vehicle, now Let's go to the back and shoot from there
[all] [right] guys so now we're at the back of the vehicle now the back of the vehicle has some different
Considerations that we want to discuss
I
still want to try to maintain as much as
The axle line as much of the axle liner and the wheel hub that's possible yet again
I'm still worried about the secondary fragmentation of coming and skip rounds coming underneath the vehicle
also
Trucks if you've never done a vehicle medium shoot meaning
You shoot rounds at a vehicle to see what the rounds do and what happens to the vehicle?
Bullets can burn straight through the trunk. It's not going to burn straight through the engine because it's the engine block
It's a lot of metal
So I want to avoid as much as the trunk line as possible. I want to try to stay on the axle line
There's more metal here than there is here to stop the bullets in Layman's terms
Not getting into the weeds of how to bail out [of] the vehicle or anything like that
If you want to learn more [of] that then come to a class well
I find myself at the back side of a vehicle my threat is on that side and now [I] want to play some
Accurate shots [or] suppressive fire either want to kill them or I want to keep their heads down so we can get away from this
vehicle
If I'm shooting like this meaning, I'm a right-handed [shooter] the gun is in my right shoulder
And I start to work my way [out] either from around the bumper or from around the C-Pillar
more of my body is
Exposed because I have to put my body out there in order to get that line of sight [what] we can do is we can
Shoot from our off shoulder
So I can [trip] I can transition shoulders and engage like this
Keeping my hands the same on fire controls or I can switch shoulders then switch hands and engage
Using my support hand in my support shoulder. So this is what I'm going to do because it's going to lower my profile
It's going to lower my signature when I punch out around the vehicle
Because I'm shooting like this. I'm also going to change up my knees
I want to keep as much as my body behind the [centerline] of this wheel as possible and
Doing so putting my left knee down because I'm shooting from my left shoulder
It helps me out because I can extend my right leg now from here
I can also rotate the gun up and over and engage just
[like] we did from the front and I can also rotate underneath
and
Engage from there as well
So like I discussed before the tt. Ps your tactics your techniques and your procedures
there's a lot of different ones out there, but
[these] are some of the more common ones that we like to see [and] that we like to push out
Just because of the myth of cover in the sense of I do not want to [just] run up and set my whole body in
My head on top of the piece of cover if I get some stand off
And I use the angles to my favor
I can effectively use this vehicle for cover and concealment
Get away from it while still engaging the enemy [okay] guys now
This is just the basics of shooting positions from a vehicle. This is shooting around a vehicle
We didn't discuss shooting from inside of the [vehicle]
We didn't discuss shooting from a moving vehicle
And we didn't discuss bailing out of a vehicle either to a hard point to another vehicle
or just flat-out getting the hell away from it if
You want to know those items know those things then come to us for a course.
We'll get in depth in it if you have a comment. Leave it below
