Vehicle Cover & Concealment<\/a><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE BASICS OF AUTOMOTIVE BALLISTICS<\/em><\/h2>\n

Vehicle Close Quarter Battle (VCQB) was first developed by Will Petty of\u00a0Centrifuge Training<\/a>. The coursework in a VCQB class covers ballistics and gunfights in, out, and around vehicles and is\u00a0targeted to law enforcement<\/a>. While there was a time the concept was considered controversial, in the years since inception VCQB has been successfully employed real-time by law enforcement officers being engaged with gunfire.<\/h2>\n

Now, VCQB tactics are in current use with the FBI, Canada\u2019s RCMP, Texas\u2019 Department of Public Safety, the NYPD, the U.S. Marshals Service, and more.<\/h2>\n

VEHICLE COVER<\/em><\/h2>\n

The basic definition of concealment is something that hides your position but can be shot through, like a large piece of posterboard, and concealment is something that\u2019ll stop bullets like a piece of armor. But the reality is that most of the time you don\u2019t know what \u201ccover\u201d is until you try to put some bullets through it.<\/h2>\n

What is considered \u201ccover\u201d for one caliber may not be for another. The fact is there are extremely few \u201cbulletproof\u201d items, but instead objects that can stop projectiles for a given period of time (given infinite time and ammunition, a .22LR will eventually burn through 10 feet of concrete).<\/h2>\n

What\u2019s been traditionally taught about vehicles is that the only real cover is the engine block and the tires. Indeed, most rounds will punch right through side panels and doors, hitting the occupants unless a round goes awry after hitting something like a door lock or other internal mechanisms. And furthermore, due to the materials used, modern engine blocks may not be as bulletproof as they have been in the past.<\/h2>\n
