Frequently Asked Questions

What is the least effective place to hide from gunfire inside a car?

Based on ballistic testing, the driver's side door is the least effective place to hide from gunfire inside a vehicle. The material is insufficient to reliably stop projectiles, making it a poor choice for cover.

Which parts of a car offer the best protection from bullets?

The trunk, the passenger side footwell (when crouched low), and behind the steering wheel have demonstrated effective ballistic protection in tests. Staying low behind the front seats, utilizing the space behind two doors, also provides good cover.

Can a car be bulletproof?

While not entirely bulletproof, certain areas of a vehicle can offer significant protection. Testing has shown that the trunk, passenger footwell, and behind the steering wheel can prevent projectiles from penetrating, making them surprisingly effective cover.

Is it safe to hide behind the driver's door during a shooting?

No, it is not safe to hide behind the driver's door during a shooting. Ballistic tests indicate that the driver's side door does not provide adequate protection and projectiles can easily pass through it.
