Can You Hit a Target from a Moving Vehicle? TACTICAL MYTHBUSTER

  • HOLLYWOOD!!!! Can people really shoot accurately from a moving vehicle? We put the question to the test. The results may surprise you!
    The portrayal of shooting a gun from a moving vehicle as "cool" in popular culture often stems from its association with action-packed movies, video games, and other forms of entertainment that glamorize high-stakes scenarios. The thrill of the chase, the precision required, and the perceived danger can create a sense of excitement for some individuals.
    However, the reality is that shooting a gun from a moving vehicle is extremely dangerous and irresponsible. The difficulty of hitting a target while the vehicle is moving, even at just 20 miles per hour, underscores the lack of precision and control in such situations. It poses severe risks to public safety, as bullets fired in such a manner can easily miss the intended target and hit innocent bystanders or property. The lack of control in a moving vehicle further heightens the chances of unintended consequences, making it a reckless and life-threatening act.
    Engaging in such behavior not only jeopardizes the safety of others but also demonstrates a lack of understanding and respect for the potential consequences of firearms. Responsible firearm use involves adherence to strict safety measures, and shooting from a moving vehicle blatantly disregards these principles. In essence, while the media may portray it as cool, the reality is that shooting a gun from a moving vehicle is a dangerous and foolish act with severe real-world repercussions.

      Buckshot doesn’t spread out as much as you would think. You’re talking about the size of a half dollar at 50 yards. But when you only have one good shot a shotgun is definitely an advantage.

    The Israeli Kidon method is supposedly to use motorcycles with two people. Person on the back has ideally an smg and they roll up quickly, stop, hose down the target and quickly speed away.
    Makes sense that its almost impossible to reliably hit a moving target while you yourself are moving at speed.

    The Texas Rangers around the mid-1800s would put 2 posts the height of a man at 40 yards apart ride their horse at full speed (40mph, most likely less because of the equipment and the grown man on top of them) take their first shot with their rifle continue at full speed and shoot the next post with their pistol, after two months of training they could hit a target the size of a man's head

  • @db1machine
    @db1machine 4 місяці тому

    It is much easier to hit a vehicle that is traveling at a similar speed to you, though the risk to you is equal since most vehicles are unarmored. Even at the target vehicles 10 and 2 O’clock positions, having a perfect 45 degree arc of fire, you can’t interlock with a partner so your effective ranges are extremely limited.
    The other issue is having to expose yourself in an awkward manner, creating shooting position problems. I’d much rather have a mounted top cover .50, GMG or even a RWS system and shoot from a position of dominance as part of an ambush.
    That being said, cartels and insurgents have an easy time inflicting casualties on soft targets and civilian vehicles. But with anything force on force, every tactic is a double edged sword, and it’s an extremely risky engagement to add moving vehicles to any firefight. Do if you have to hard extract from the contact, by all means. But in an offensive capacity, leave it to the helos.
    Great video though, and a great demonstration in humility and reality.

    So I was a paramedic in Los Angeles for about 5 years. In that time, I saw more gunshot and stab wounds then my previous 10 years in the U.S. Army. Typically (at least the 4 drive bys I witnessed/treated) the bad guys would come down the street towards the target at between 5 to 10 mph (really slow and noticeable), then hose down said targets with a mags worth and then speed off. Untrained zero skillz Bangers would still hit 1 or 2 of the people they were shooting it (call it area effect) but they still hit them. We would then transport them to whichever trauma center was open, etc.

    Can you hit a target from a moving vehicle? Yes, you can but it takes the skill tha only comes from a lot of practice. No, it is in no way ideal, far better to stop to engage. Of course the same can be said about shooting from any compromised position.
    Now, a left handed shooter would have a better time of it. Try this, you in the back seat, either engaging on the passenger side with your knee on the seat or behind the driver and engaging from rhe driver's side. HAVE CARE FOR THE DRIVER, as if I have to tell you that.

The point of a driveby is u surprise and hit ur target and then are long gone before they can return fire/ reinforcements of any kind can respond. Yeah you will be more accurate stationary.. but bullets are cheap and life is irreplaceable. If u miss 3 and hit once then get away you were successful
