  1. Shoot fewer well placed larger rounds and hopefully K.O. the engine or driver?

  2. Throw boxes of smaller bullets, hope one finds something the driver cant live with out?

    I can get 50bmg primers a lot easier than I can get small rifle primers.

    If the structure has steel I beams hidden in the from facing wall buried in the ground sufficiently not much can get through that.
    So far as an event in public, there is no sure way of anticipating such an event in it's entirety.
    As time passes and this kind of thing becomes more common it is likely that armament might be implemented to insure success of the driver. "The Gauntlet"

    They call their store target. They have balls.

    The world has just gone mad.
    And just like that vehicle threats are common.

    Another possible vehicle threat.

    Inspired by this one that happened the other day.


    Hey if youall want to do this, let's go.

    White left wing commie intentionally runs over and kills Hispanic conservative.
    He was probably enraged that this brownish colored teen wasn't about to spend most if not all of his life blindly voting democrat.

    the only real answer is to shoot the driver in the head. This is feasibly done with a normal CCW pistol. The .50 DE and other silly crud is not useful for anything, actually, even if you could lug it around. You wont have any guns when you're in France, or pretty much any country in the world but the US, folks

    Police fire hundreds of rounds at guy trying to run them over with GMC Yukon.

    I knew a retired cop that said they had a method of stopping such situations by herding the suspect to a certain inter section of road and T-bone the vehicle using a car from the impound yard. It works every time.

    375 H&H shooting a 250gr Barnes solid copper bullet, yeah I can stop a truck. It might still be able to coast into something but I guarantee I can take the engine out.

    I'm thinking the only caliber with a meaning full improvement over 6.5 creed for the money might be 50bmg.
    Yeah there's 264 win mag and it's 800 to 900 shot barrel life for marginal improved ballistics.
    If I'm going to spend like $4 a shot on something like 338lupua why not get the most bang for my $ and just make it a 50.
