The Truth About Vehicle CQB Tactics Classes

Published on December 7, 2024
Duration: 11:16

This video critically examines vehicle CQB tactics, advising against expensive classes that teach unrealistic shooting from moving vehicles. The instructor, drawing on private security experience, emphasizes understanding your vehicle's dynamics for evasion and safe dismounting. The primary focus is on driver proficiency in acceleration, braking, and maneuvering, rather than offensive engagement from within the vehicle.

Quick Summary

The driver's primary role in a vehicle engagement is evasion, not offensive action. Civilian vehicles offer minimal ballistic protection, making them 'bullet sponges' under fire. Focus on understanding your vehicle's dynamics through defensive driving practice and safe dismounting, rather than expensive, unrealistic CQB shooting classes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary role of the driver in a vehicle CQB scenario?

In a vehicle CQB scenario, the driver's primary role is to operate the vehicle and evade the threat. Offensive engagement is the responsibility of other passengers or a designated truck commander, not the driver.

Are civilian vehicles bulletproof, and what parts offer the most protection?

Civilian vehicles are generally not bulletproof. The engine block and internal metal reinforcements in doors offer some protection, but most of the car's structure is easily penetrated by handgun and rifle rounds, making it a poor shield.

What kind of training does the instructor recommend for vehicle self-defense?

The instructor recommends focusing on understanding your vehicle's dynamics: practicing maximum acceleration, braking, and cornering on a closed course. Safe and quick dismounting techniques are also emphasized over unrealistic shooting drills.

Why should individuals avoid most vehicle CQB tactic classes?

Many vehicle CQB classes are criticized for teaching unrealistic tactics like shooting effectively from moving vehicles, which is extremely difficult. They often cost a lot of money and don't prepare individuals for the reality of vehicle ballistics and evasion.
