hand loaded 357, to the point of blowing out the primers, will crack a block...it will also do both doors and parts of the seat....gary
Therefore, shot placement.
My take on the subject is simple. You only fire on the occupants of a vehicle when you're justified in killing them.
There was an incident a few years back that involved a son trying to run down his mother (nice family...) in a crowded parking lot.
When you've seen enough of it you just plain quit looking if don't have to.... at least that's how I dealt with it over the years.
I say if you put any rifle caliber round .223 or larger right in the center of the grille and try to get it into the timing gears and chain that engine will stop cold.
I see you missed my point. It is like trying to get a head shot while your opponent is wearing a coat 3 sizes too big and he is inside a sleeping bag
Since you can't see the engine when you're shooting at it, how do you tell?
Whatever will stop the driver
Not necessarily. The engine is grounded to the chassis(thereby grounding the alternator to the chassis). As long as the alternator does not need exciter voltage the engine will continue to run. Taking out the transmission/transaxle,either directly or through the ecm would indeed be very effective.Keep in mind a battery failure can stop the car too, as losing it will result in an open circuit.
