Not trying to do that. They did the best with the tools that they were given. Just trying to think of different tools that could be used in the future to prevent events like this from happening again.

Slow down. Who, other than a reporter, said that it was a 25mm? Honestly, at 10 metres, the kinetic energy from a training round would have done more than what was reported.stegner said:Why not put a couple of 5.56mm or 7.62mm rounds through the engine or tires instead of 25mm through the windshield? Can convoys not deploy some spike belts to slow down cars?

Rolling convoy's and spike strips are not practical.
Noor Mohammed, a distant relative of the victims who lives in Kandahar city, said the driver knew that road intimately because he commuted every day from his home in Chalghowr village to work at a shop in the city that sold spare parts for vehicles. The family believes that the driver tried to stop before reaching the Canadian vehicles but got nervous and stamped his foot on the wrong pedal, the relative said. "The driver was confused," he said. "He put his foot on the accelerator instead of the brake."
The father was also a passenger in the vehicle. He was being treated for lacerations but left the Kandahar city hospital without permission to attend his children's funeral .... Staff at the Kandahar hospital said the children's father, Rozi Khan, suffered minor injuries. The children's mother and the driver of the car were not injured.
From http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/news/story.html?id=535792c2-0dc2-4c79-80fb-63344cc7e988The soldiers used hand signals, flashing lights and sirens in a futile attempt to warn the car away.
milnewstbay said:Dopey question, here - has any MSM asked either the father or the driver why the car didn't stop?
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?
Jammer said:I know...I was there.
However...that being said I found it to be a more effective deterrent than warning shots when you were confident you we dealing with just a guy who was impatient.
