Videos tagged with Shooting Through Glass

This experiment tests bullet deflection and glass behavior when shooting through a car window. The first 9mm shot from a Girsan Witness Match X 2011 deflected about an inch downward, with the tempered glass shattering but remaining in place. Visibility is severely impaired after the first shot, making subsequent aimed shots difficult.

This video analyzes two carjacking attempts where defenders successfully turned the tables. It highlights the effectiveness of less-lethal options like POM Pepper Spray and the critical importance of carrying a firearm on your person. Key tactical lessons include maintaining situational awareness, recognizing pre-attack indicators, and the necessity of being prepared to shoot through vehicle glass.

This video tests the feasibility and risks of shooting through a car windshield in a self-defense scenario. While a Glock 9mm can penetrate the glass, significant bullet deflection and velocity loss occur. The primary takeaway is the severe health hazard posed by inhaling glass dust, leading to temporary loss of taste and smell. The recommendation is to avoid shooting through glass, suggesting alternatives like rolling down windows or exiting the vehicle.

This video analyzes an officer-involved shooting during a Las Vegas pursuit. While the officer displayed immense determination and a 'will to win,' his technical marksmanship and tactical execution were critiqued. Key takeaways include the challenges of shooting through glass, improper firearm grip leading to malfunctions, and stress-induced reloading errors, emphasizing the need for 'unconscious competence' in training.

This video demonstrates how standard M118LR ammunition can effectively penetrate vehicle glass and doors. A Nemesis Arms Valkyrie rifle chambered in .308 was used to test windshields, side glass, and car doors, showing that even standard rounds maintain accuracy and lethality after barrier penetration. The expert advises sticking to one reliable ammunition type for consistency in complex engagements.

This video analyzes an armed robbery where the victim successfully defended himself by shooting through a glass partition. Key takeaways include the importance of situational awareness against multiple attackers, the effectiveness of shooting through glass with proper technique, and the justification of continued engagement as a continuity of action when a threat persists. The analysis also highlights the physiological indicators of a Central Nervous System (CNS) hit.
