Shooting AR through windshield

[DontTreadOnMeBro714]

I've done this several times in vehicle tactics classes, but never from a moving vehicle while driving.
Shooting from inside a vehicle through the windshield like that will cause the bullets to deflect UP, so unless he's nice and close, there's a chance he sent rounds over the target. But also, once a hole is in there, pushing out your muzzle and using it like a turret is completely valid, and in fact better than continuing to spray through glass.

That's what I was thinking as I was watching the video, stick the muzzle out the holed glass and use it as a touret. It will help control muzzle movement and get the rounds to avoid deflection from the glass.

When you go to shooting schools, you will find LEOs in the class training to get better... some departments cover then entire cost, some allow a work vehicle to be used... other departments do not cover the cost at the officer pays for the expense as does any other person.

There are a variety of schools that have classes shooting from vehicles.

The concern I would have is my eardrums.. or what is left of them...

Shooting the first few shots, especially with the other windows up, would create a huge Sound Pressure Level... not as bad as the muzzle being fired next to your ear, but close...

as a previous poster said, I have seen shooting from a static vehicle out of the side windows to the front, side and to the rear.

Shooting into a vehicle, aiming at an appropriate point as the bullets will rise when going through glass and out of a static vehicle forwards to a target.

Students will continue to rotate through so not everyone gets a fresh piece of used glass...

Different departments have different authorizations based upon the officers skill and mind....

I have know of motor officers who carried a sub gun in a side saddle on their motor... when the rest of the department only carrier shotguns...
The officer was a competitive shooter, instructor and was qualified to carry a sub gun....

Kudos to anyone who goes after a bad person!!!!!!

Have you tried to break a windshield before?

From the inside? Easy. Sporting rifles are designed to be pretty good blunt objects. Could smash the tip through and a lot of the noise would be outside the car. Not all, lol, but it would be more tolerable. Now for aiming? The driver shouldn't be firing.

But it always works in the movies?

So....is this worse than texting while driving?
