You and (if applicable) your family are inside a car that is caught in the middle of 300 "youths" who are running into a local store. Suddenly, they turn their attention to your car. The "youths" try to overturn it. You speed up in an attempt to escape and crash into a group of them, but the car gets bogged down amid the pile of bodies. The crowd gets angrier and begins breaking the windows of your car and reaching in. Do you have what it takes to survive?

A group of people won't bog down a car that's flooring it.

yeah I would give the wife the gun and tell her to pop rounds off downrange and floor it... if the rabble don't take the hint my 4x4 smashing them might... I don't understand why people think it's so smart to do this flash mob stuff... down here in florida someone is really going to get hurt.

A crowd surrounds me, I floor it. It takes a lot to stop a car. Window breaks, door gets forced open, any breach, or if i see molotovs, then headshots. I'm pretty sure I'll make it away before I run out of gas or bullets.

Seriously, I don't let myself get into situations where this might be a possibility. But, I wouldn't hesitate to floor it all the way to the nearest police station.

I have a small P/U, it would have more clearance than a car, I think I could make it. I would have no choice but to try. Before I got a quad I would drive my truck like a 4wheeler. It's kind of bashed up already.

You wouldn't have to run all 300 down.

As soon as a flash mob ends with a scene similar to the events in Death Wish 3, the entire "phenomenon" will stop.

I have honestly thought about loading up some of my G18 mags and leaving two in my car after these flash mobs.



That will give me 64 rds plus either 12 or 16 more rds in my G19 or G26 depending on what I am carrying that day.  I currently keep two G17 mags loaded in the car.

If I see 300 people headed in any direction, I'm going the other way. I wouldn't put myself or family in that kind of situation. Survival isn't always about shooting, its mostly about thinking.

Pretty much drive as fast/hard as I can.

If for whatever reason I get nowhere anymore, there's a reason I have a Krinkov in the car.

It wouldn't take too many rounds at close range for them to figure out what the fuck the deal was.

F150 and a truck gun.  Bring it.

Immediate response.....throw my F150 into 4W low and just drive.
Worst case, I have 15 rounds....I'm thinking that after the first few perps go down, people will fan out enough for me to hit the gas and go.

I may be wrong, but I suspect a couple people posting in this thread either didn't read the OP, didn't comprehend the OP, or don't know what a flash mob is.

That being said, if I'm outnumbered 300 to 1 and immobilized I don't think it's it's a stretch of the imagination that I will lose that fight if I can't disperse it most Riki-Tik.

Is there a magic percentage of a mob you have to take down for the rest to bolt in panic?

I've always thought about a mag worth of .45ACP or 5.56 would do the trick.

For the most part the flash mob crowds you are talking about are not some bunch of wild-eyed religious nut-jobs or those so repressed by their governments that they are desperate. A bunch of urban youth cowards would be closer to the truth.

I suspect they would clear a path pretty darn quick once the first few bodies start hitting the pavement. Heck, I suspect my old Accord would do that well enough.

I have a 4wd pickup, it won't bog down on bodies. If it does I carry 2 extra mags for my BHP, 3 more in the glove box and a 7" knife. I bet after I pop a few heads the mob will disperse pretty quickly

On another note I have been thinking about getting a under-folding AK-47 as a truck gun.

my rear seats fold down to allow access to the trunk.  Just sayin'.....  

The entire crowd would have a very bad many minutes.  Like Blackhawk Down "me trying to outdo Shughart and Gordon" bad.

People that are just up for light mischief and vandalism will unass when a fullsize suburban or truck comes down the street and then up the curb after them.
People that are there for some real violence will have a plan to deal with the truck.
Either way you want to drive hard and smart.

Funnest ride I ever had was in a State Dept. suburban in the 80's.
