Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best part of a car for ballistic cover?

Based on live fire testing, the engine block of a car provides the most reliable ballistic cover. Rounds fired at this area are most likely to be stopped or significantly degraded.

Does a car's wheel hub offer good cover?

The wheel hub can offer secondary ballistic protection, but it is less effective than the engine block. Other areas under the car are prone to bullet fragmentation and skipping.

What happens to 5.56 rounds fired at a car?

When fired at a car, 5.56 rounds can fragment significantly or skip off surfaces, especially when not impacting the engine block. This makes many areas under the vehicle unreliable for cover.

How many rounds were used in the car ballistic test?

In the demonstration, approximately 28 rounds of 5.56 ammunition were fired at a red sedan to analyze bullet penetration and fragmentation patterns beneath the vehicle.
