STormy is right. Pushing through a kill zone in a vehicle is the only way to go. If you stop, you have a really god chance of not getting on the move again. Or just plain dying. 9 times out of 10, even lightly armored vehicles can make it out of an ambush zone still running. It all comes down to wheter or not the SOB shooting at you got lucky.
Also agree with Stormy on point #2. SHooting old junkers isnt really a good indicator of how effectively you could stop a vehicle. SOme engines can take more abuse than others..blah blah blah. I can tell you this:
I have personally shot multipe vehicles while on deployment. I have attempted to disable these things with 5.56mm, 7.62, and .50 BMG. Weapns ranging from the standard M-4 and M-14 to the more specialized M-24, M110 and M107.
SOmetimes it only took a round or two. SOmetimes it took 30.
5.56 and 7.62 took more hits to disable, but it was possible to do with both. The Barrett was able to do a much better job (sometimes one round, sometimes 5 or 6). But keep in mind, it is a .50 caliber weapon designed in an anti-material role.
It's all about shot placement and whether or not you get a vehicle that just does not want to die. Hitting a moving vehicle just right, every time, in the correct way, to effectively stop it....honestly...............It's a lot easier to shoot the driver.
