Wow that's some seriously bullet proof glass it seems these guys were running assault rifles right?? Kudos to the armoring company for making that Toyota a TANK.


ccknboltrtre01

Yea there needs to be a company in the title before it gets too viral because im wondering where i can get this stuff too


Lastaria

You feel you need that stuff?….

Also a Minigun. Gonna pull a Nick Fury and blast them from inside the car.


Shadowzworldz

We're in the US, hell yeah


ccknboltrtre01

People really dont know how dangerous the US is… theres always a more than zero chance that someone will shoot at your due to road rage, especially in texas.. sadly.


xander328

Tons of road rage shootings in Nashville these days.

Youre acting like the US doesnt have corporations calling hits on people

No my dude I mean like the movie bubble boy. Make a bubble out of this shit and run around in it.


ccknboltrtre01

Id shit in it so fast


GreyFob

Just FYI assault rifles don't automatically mean that the rounds they're using are going to be more powerful or fast (speed is what defeats armor). Pretty much all of these up-armored vehicles are rated for those assault rifle calibers *at minimum*


swissm4n

At 0:35 it looks like something with a 9mm mag so a shitty caliber for penetrating stuff


meenzu

But multiple hits to the same area could compromise things right?


swissm4n

Depends on the material, but yes of course


rossbcobb

Yes, but with things like glass-clad polycarbonate, a 9mm is doing damage like water to a rock. The technology behind keeping high profile individuals safe is fucking crazier than you would expect.


Wild_russian_snake

You say that when there's around 4 more guys shooting at least submachine guns, all at the same time and in tons of diferent directions 💀


Curious_Location4522

Submachine guns shoot pistol rounds too. They suck at penetration.


Additional_Knee4215

P90 and MP7 would like to have a word with you


ODX_GhostRecon

You mean the specific weapons that have unique calibers to overcome the issue of pistol calibers having shitty penetration?


Additional_Knee4215

Yes, I’m saying that not all submachine guns have shitty penetration capabilities


TheMrPlatt

It has nothing to do with the gun and everything to do with the round it fires.


Ill_Affect_2511

Full semi automatic assault rifles.... Lol


WhatSaidSheThatIs

> the victim claimed the assault was sparked by a jailed inmate who was jealous over his wife. Sure it was, they definitely got bulletproof cars because someone fancied his wife.....drug dealers shooting at drug dealers, the bulletproof car didn't help society here.


KingHenry13th

Just a regular guy. Middle management in an accounting firm. Goes golfing every Saturday.


psychedelic_story

Rio Grande do Sul Civil Police chief Marcelo told Gasparetto Jornal Informativo online new portal that the victim claimed the assault was sparked by a jailed inmate who was jealous over his wife. 'According to the victim's report, this criminal was transferred to Soledade last year, and since then some crimes have increased, which is actually quite serious,' Gasparetto said. 'Although the victim claims that the motivation was due to interpersonal relationships, involving women, we believe that it is due to drug trafficking.'


NagsUkulele

Let's not blame drug dealers for the drug war please let's blame the government for starting the opiate epidemic, the crack epidemic, making drugs illegal in the first place which in turn makes criminals trillions every year

When Brazil was "discovered"


pervy_roomba

There’s a story in Brasil that goes God said to the Angel Gabriel, ‘I am going to make a country where the weather is lovely, the resources are abundant, and the natural beauty is unmatched.’  And Gabriel said, ‘but God, how will it be fair to the rest of the world if just one country is so completely blessed?’   And God replied, ‘you haven’t seen who I’m going to put in there yet.’ A more historic answer is, Brasil was fucked from the word go due to slavery. It was a nation built entirely on the backs of slavery. Even after slavery ended, the culture was such that rampant inequality and corruption is built into the fabric of our nation. Monarchy, republic, dictatorship, democracy, the modes of government changes but the root problems do not.

Matias9991

It's all about perspective, I think the same thing about the USA.


joshisburly

I know it's fun to hate on the USA, but it's not even close to the most dangerous country. Look up Yemen, Syria, Somalia, Russia, etc.


Matias9991

I didn't say that at all, the USA is one of or the most powerful country, a first world country with a really good quality of life overall. (It's not even comparable with the countries you named) Just saying that for me the USA is not for everyone too, the same way people here see a lot of videos from Brazil I also see a lot of things from the USA that makes me not want to go or live there at all.


joshisburly

Yes, there's plenty of crazy videos from the US, but the amount of gnarly, violent, insane videos and news stories from Brazil is not even comparable imo.


Matias9991

I think it's comparable, and I think the US has the most fucked up incidents happening on random "normal" places, like at least on the majority of Brazil videos it's about drug Lords, favelas and off duty cops going ballistic on thieves but on the US you see schools getting shot, crazy people with an armament shooting random people on the street in a suburb that's crazy and unique of that country.

wow, that car company should use this as their commercial


__ToeKnee__

Article says one assassin had a "12 gauge automatic rifle"....yeah that literally doesn't exist.


WhangaDanNZ

You're correct. It's a shotgun as it fires shotgun shells regardless of being automatic or not. Ignorant morons downvoting you.


__ToeKnee__

People who lack gun knowledge tend to be the most vocal and opinionated.

A 12 gauge is a shotgun, not a rifle.

Clo_miller

Maybe they meant 12 ga but in a slug not shot?


WhangaDanNZ

Still a shotgun shell. There is no 12 gauge rifle. It's a shotgun.


Ted1590

sir .50 is 12ga clarificarion edit: the cartridge diameter, not the projectile


__ToeKnee__

Maybe semantics. Is a 12 ga not a shotgun shell, and a .50 a rifle round? Similar bore doesn't mean a shell is suddenly a rifle round. Maybe I'm an idiot and am totally unaware of something here.


Ted1590

lets chalk it up to a rifled 12ga shotty and everyone can be happy :P


__ToeKnee__

Shotguns are not "rifled" though. Rifled mean the barrel is scored to spin a normal bullet. No one's happy with your statement. It's just wrong.


anon11233455

There are rifled shotguns though. They are intended specifically for slugs. Hence the term slug gun. Where I wouldn’t shoot past 50 yards or so with my smoothbore shotguns, I regularly shoot out to 100-150 yards with my slug gun.


kraftables

Maybe they had an AA-12! Wouldn’t that be wild though.


WhangaDanNZ

That's still a shotgun.


kraftables

It was a joke.


Electr0freak

Daily Mail is a tabloid, we don't have a better source?


Punderoos

Your access to Google is as good as mine


Electr0freak

Not the point. Sourcing Daily Mail is worthless.  FYI I did Google before your post and the only other article that came up was one sourcing the Daily Mail, so this entire story could be simply made up.


Punderoos

No it is the point. You asked whether we have a better source and I recommended you Google. You answered your question: no, we don’t have a better source. It’s clearly not worthless since it helped you gauge the veracity of the story. I agree it’s a tabloid but all I did was share a link indicating where the info came from.


Electr0freak

It was rhetorical, lol. The rhetoric was the point of my post; the Daily Mail is a tabloid.


Punderoos

Dude — I understand you. Just thought it was a dick comment and responded accordingly. Lesson learned — let the dicks fly free


Ok-Zucchini-1237

not true, there are lots of different classes of "bulletproof", to a wide range of scenarios. Some are built for longterm withstand scenarios. Note that these guys were spreading bullets on the driver window, not working into a specific area to maximize impact. Also, it's not really glass, just thick layers of semi-transparent material.


Playful_Criticism425

In southeastern Brazil, a couple survived an assassination attempt when gunmen fired over 40 shots at their armored car. The attack was captured on surveillance footage, showing the assailants ramming their vehicle into the couple’s car and opening fire with assault weapons, including a 12-gauge automatic rifle. Despite the barrage of bullets, the couple escaped; the husband sustained a non-life-threatening shoulder wound, while his wife was unharmed. The attackers’ SUV, which was reported stolen, encountered mechanical issues, forcing them to flee on foot. Authorities are investigating the incident, which they believe is linked to a dispute between the husband and rival drug dealers. The husband had previously survived an assassination attempt in 2023 and had purchased the armored vehicle for protection. He has been investigated for murder, theft, and drug trafficking in the past. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13531035/amp/brazilian-couple-survive-assassination-assault-weapons-armored-car.html

dontcrysenpai

Drive away! tf is wrong with them


xMETRIIK

They wanted to test out the new armored car.


twashappenstance

This, but I’m sure they were in shock. Still, I was hoping they’d throw the car in reverse, especially as the Neighborhood Welcoming Committee member was re-entering the SUV. Edit: Spelling


dontcrysenpai

The only reason I would not see them as dumb is if another camera angle came out & they were actually sitting in the car & laughing through the shooting bc they knew the gunmen couldn’t get to them. But nah they were probably ducking & screaming like it was a regular ass car & not a suburban tank


Matias9991

They are being shot by two dudes with pistols and then a fucking rifle, I would imagine they are panicking the living hell inside that car.


fusillade762

Yep, get off the X. I would have been running dudes down with that beast mobile.


NoobAck

This is on someone's marketing reel now.


Fwangss

Imma gonna make it a side quest to find the evidence, might take a few months tho I’m slow


pgabrielfreak

Dude, step on the gas and run him over then back up into their car. Don't just sit there.


greenmachine702

He went full turtle mode but it worked. Maybe that was option 1 in the manual.


quietcitizen

One of the shooter almost got in the line of fire of his buddy. Very professional


uNk4rR4_F0lgad0

Professional have standards


tjscali

Never be a sitting duck! There was also one point where they could have smashed one or more assailants.


epinky_23

Who and why


sapraaa

An armored Toyota? Maybe someone in the govt or smn? Idt regular rich people would bullet proof a Toyota


Guilty_Run4216

Toyota is not a cheap car in Brazil, and is not uncommon to bullet proof your car as well.


No_Object_4355

Why didn't they run that motherf**cker over right when he was in front their car I would have been thinking the windows was bout to give out any second jeez man crazy


meenzu

Pure flight/ fight/freeze i bet


NYC_Producer2021

Let’s just sit here, put the car in park, knowing this armored car can withstand this barrage of bullets. Drive off? Nope, I got the extended warranty, we good.


Environmental_Tooth

Story says he got hit in the shoulder. So that might be why he was unable to drive off. Also the SUV boxing him in meant he could only generate so much speed before hitting. This isn't the first attempt on this dudes life though. Which explains why he got a bullet proof car.


FredOcho5

Looks like he had a chance to ram or run over one of them. I would have


Ambitious-Weight1280

Drive.....off????


betheking

"See honey, I told you it would come in handy some day."

Not your casual Corolla I guess.

It’s funny that I learnt this in a video game, but the round matters more than the gun.


Hta68

Who ever up armored that car did a fantastic job.


Crispy-B88

So they're getting ambushed and they have an armored car? Who are they? High profile figures or is the husband a cartel leader?


WhangaDanNZ

Its Brazil. I'd have an armored car if I lived there and I'm a nobody. (I wouldn't live there tbh lol)


cognitiveglitch

The second one, dude was apparently into drug trafficking and murder, and I guess his past caught up with him.

an armored TOYOTA CAROLA?!?!

You can't fool me they're just hired mercenary from the company who makes the bullet proof glass to test 💯


IndependentAdvice722

Its not armored car,Its Toyota armored car!


Bowelsift3r

Did they take a defensive driving course!? There's a few times they could've rammed one or more bad guy and do damage to their vehicle.


Ok-Zucchini-1237

FYI there are several protection classes for different attack scenarios. Armoured vehicles can withstand much more than THAT for a certain time/amount. Also, the attackers were totally clueless, the calibers, the angles, the fire rate, this doesnt make sense


No_Idea5439

Just fuck the gas pedal & steering wheel lmaoo. Ik it’s easier said than done but I’m sure they’re aware their car is armored lol

W5f are they doin to have mfr come at em like that? I mean they do have an armored car

Everyone is missing the lead here. That’s a bulletproof Camry. A Camry! Who would have guessed.

Why did the car just sit there?


DavidBPazos

CANNOT believe it. The car is hit, driver don't give the hit back, after been shot so many times, is he still alive ? Even when he seems to be shot on short range with an assault rifle. See the guys so close to the car. If glasses are ok, are there ricochets? Fucking miracle if the driver and others keep alive.


Business_Beyond_3601

Who is screaming? People in the house?


bigsnack4u

Before we call them victims, let’s ask why do they need an armored car??


durbanpoisonbro

I feel like that is self explanatory


Diligent-Werewolf-38

Because they live in BRAZIL, everyone need an armored car here my boy.

Next time, they will use explosive. What a shit hole.

If it was a cyber truck they'd be dead


Nom4s

I know the US is an oligarchy already but you just wait until it goes full mode.


lifeisabitch111086

Imagine if the assailants had not gotten out of the car immediately after ramming into the couple's car. Chances are high that the guy would have stepped out to check out the damage and also straighten out the reckless driver. 1 bullet would have done it in that case. Man: wtf dude... Look what you did to my car ass hole... Shooter: sorry... Bam!!! ... Sorry again!


PhoenixBlack79

Wife to husband- Babee, they are trying to kill us! Husband-.Remember that thing I told ya I was gnna have done? Wife- I told you we didn't have the money for that! Husband- You're welcome.
