Frequently Asked Questions

How do you safely draw a firearm from a car during a gunfight?

From within a vehicle, you can engage by bringing your firearm over your shoulder. For a better position, lean out and shoot from the gap between the A-pillar and the door, leading with your muzzle and eyes.

Why is it important to break contact after a car gunfight?

It is crucial to exit the vehicle and break contact immediately after an engagement because vehicles are highly vulnerable and act as 'bullet magnets,' making them dangerous to remain in.
