right after the bank holdup(and before they slam into the bus) when McCouly is in the car trying to get away he shoots at the front windshield, why?

To kill people and make good his escape?

I shoot the windshield in every movie I'm in when I'm escaping from a bank heist.

Sheesh......don't you?

i was surprised he didn't hang out the window and hold it sideways

Because it worked when he was in the drive in with his handgun. So why not shoot through the window with the M16?


When I first saw HEAT I thought it was pretty cool that the bad guys shot through the windows instead of hanging out the car door.

It was a rental... and they had paid for the full no deductable insurance coverage.

I had to add.  Having done personal protection details where were had a motorcade... the last thing we were worried agout was broken glass, scratched fenders, vehicle damage if  the SHTF.  Shooting inside a vehicle is really rough on the ears.  I always carried ear plugs in my war bag.  Dealing with a long arm in a vehicle is rather obnoxious.  

Some of the vehicles we trained in had rear door windows that only rolled half way down.  We were taught a technique of busting out the glass with the first shot out of the witness protection Remington 870 shotguns.  Whatever it take to do the job.

I think that pretty well says it.

He wanted to shoot at the cops in front of them without hanging out the window.

quick hijack attempt;

Anybody else pay close attention to this scene? Ever wonder which gun DeNiro used to shoot out the windshield?

When the camera is shooting in from the right side/passenger side you see an M16. But when the camera is looking in from the left side/driver's side you clearly see the Galil shooting out the windshield.
