This video critiques the concept of 'Vehicle CQB' training, arguing it's inherently flawed and dangerous. The instructor emphasizes that vehicles are not bulletproof and advocates for escape as the primary response. If escape is impossible, the focus should be on engaging threats and then immediately seeking cover away from the vehicle, rather than complex transitions or relying on the car for protection.

Quick Summary

Vehicles are not bulletproof, making 'Vehicle CQB' training inherently dangerous. Experts advise that if confronted in a car, the priority is to drive away. If escape is impossible, engage threats with a handgun, then immediately exit the vehicle and seek cover away from it, as the car offers minimal ballistic protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Vehicle CQB training considered dangerous?

Vehicle CQB training is criticized because cars are not bulletproof and offer minimal ballistic protection. Relying on a vehicle for cover or engaging threats from within can trap occupants, making them vulnerable. The primary recommendation is always to escape the vehicle if possible.

What is the recommended protocol if you are trapped in a vehicle and cannot escape?

If escape is impossible, the recommended protocol is to present your handgun, engage threats as practiced, then immediately exit the vehicle and seek cover away from it. The focus is on disengaging from the compromised position.

Are there specific training groups or instructors that the video advises against?

Yes, the video mentions 'Flint Lock Training Group' and lists 'Modern Samurai Project', 'Ronin Tactics', 'Operator Zero', and 'GBRS' as examples of entities whose training might be considered 'gimmicky' or not the best advice, urging viewers to vet their instructors.

What are the ballistic realities of engaging threats from inside a car?

Handgun rounds typically penetrate most of a vehicle's structure with ease, similar to paper. While some angles might offer minimal resistance, the car is generally not a reliable shield. The engine block and some door reinforcements might offer slight protection, but this is not a consistent defensive measure.
