This video from The VSO Gun Channel, featuring instructors from Asymmetric Solutions, demonstrates the critical difference between ballistic cover and concealment using a Heckler & Koch MP5 and a Mazda MPV. The expert instructors highlight that standard vehicle components like doors and seats offer no meaningful protection against 9mm rounds, reinforcing that only the engine block and wheel/axle areas provide true cover. The session emphasizes tactical principles for engaging targets around vehicles and understanding the limitations of ballistic resistance.
