<<<<<  LA Carjacking   >>>>>

Designer: Dan Ballard
Date: March 1998
Scoring Method: Vickers Count
String 1 Description: You, the driver, are stopped in traffic, waiting for the car in front to move. Three men with guns in their waistband approach the car. They demand you get out of the car. (Extreme verbal pressure, loud yelling etc.) Seeing several innocent parties, you get out and close the door. As you step out of the car hands up, (surrender position) the closest robber reaches for his gun. You engage with 1 or 2 shots to the body (pepper popper, must knock down). The second & third robbers are drawing guns. Using available cover (run around the car, being careful not to break the "180") engage them two shots to the body & 1 to the head (Mozambique)
String 1 Notes: The shooter will load & make ready before getting in the car. Door closed seatbelt on and door locked. SO says "GIVE ME YOUR CAR" and the shooter gets out into the surrender position, hands up. As soon as this position is taken- Start timer. The shooter must make use of cover for T-2 & T-3.
String 2 Description: You, the passenger are stopped in traffic. A carjacking goes bad, and the car comes under fire. Get out of the car, starting in surrender position, wait for start signal, draw and shoot the pepper popper, take cover, tactical reload, and engage each remaining T-2 & T-3 hostile target again Mozambique style.
String 2 Notes: Same setup as string1- Shooter must exit the car before drawing, must draw from surrender position, and must make sensible use of cover. True vickers scoring, best shots to count for score.
String 3 Description: You are leaning on the car talking to friends when the gunmen try a carjack. You come under fire. Enage all 3 hostiles while moving, in tactical order, steel popper, then the 2 paper targets Mozambique.
String 3 Notes: None
