The Five Best Weapons You Need To Stash In Your Armoured Car To Ensure Maximum Security

"The best defence is offence." That is a line that has been drilled by every survival instructor and security consultant in their client’s heads. Business owners wanting their own armoured Audi A8 have not been left out, either. Sure, you can never expect the kind of protection James Bond has in his Aston Martin, but then again, you are not a secret agent. Most people who drive around in bulletproof vehicles are looking to seek refuge from a rioting mob or a would-be carjacker. Thus, paying the bulletproof BMW price in India is a much greater deal when you consider that your life is on the line.

However, getting the best armour package on bulletproof luxury cars in India can only get you so far. As with everything in life, you should always have a backup plan. And when you’re stuck in hostile territory and you have to face an aggressor head-on, then you better be packing some heat in your vehicle. That can prove to be quite cumbersome to decide since there are a lot of offensive solutions in the market today. Fortunately, you need not mount a minigun turret on the roof of your car. There are several subtle ways you can carry some firepower in your ride to deter a few bad elements.

l Stun Guns/Tasers

Let’s start small. You don’t always need to critically injure your opponents to disable the assault. Stun guns and tasers offer a cheaper, more suave alternative to guns, especially when there’s the possibility of innocent bystanders around. These don’t require any licence to carry and are easily available online. Most stun guns have replaceable batteries and offer quite a decent range to operate. Plus, they are small enough to be concealed in a purse or a coat jacket.

l Batons Or Blunt Melee Weapons

When you really have to bring in the hurt close range, it is better to avoid a knife or sharp objects as they can be harmful both ways and require constant sharpening to stay effective. You know what you don’t need a grindstone on? A baseball bat. Packing in a blunt melee weapon like a baton tips the negotiation needle a bit in your favour. It is an essential deterrent to carjackers who are adept at disabling an armoured Audi A8. Melee weapons don’t require any ammo and can easily be concealed by the seats or the pillars of the car. You also don’t need a crash course to use them. You just hit them, hard, on anything that you feel can threaten your safety. It doesn’t have to be something overt, either. You can put in a tyre iron or a metallic seat support up front to utilize them as weapons.

l Handgun

Ok, so you suspect something more sinister at play, right? You’re all about the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms, which is why you want to want to stash a few guns in your armoured car. Well, hold on there, hotshot. There are a few limitations with space with all the ballistic steel and kevlar that your ride put on. The best suggestion would be to use a small calibre pistol, as an ACP.45 would surely be overkill. Try to equip a SIG-Saur P226 or a Glock G34 with a couple of spare magazines. These are easy to draw and can put out a lot of rounds without reloading. Just make sure to clean them regularly and conceal them where they are easy to reach. And yeah, don’t forget alert any patrol officers who stop you for overspeeding.

l Submachine Gun

The thing with most handguns is that they can only pack in so much punch. Sometimes you have to repel a group of attackers off your vehicle. If you’re expecting something like that, prepare to pay for the licence and possession of a compact submachine gun in addition to the bulletproof BMW price in India. The word ‘compact’ is certainly stressed here, as you don’t want an MP5 or UMP which are much more difficult to draw from a confined space. Try for a smaller variant like the H&K MP7 or the FN P90. These are small enough to easily conceal in most vehicles and pack in high-velocity rounds.

l Carbine

Alright, so you have angered some really nasty individuals and are looking for the best kind of firepower available swiftly from a moving vehicle. While many would suggest a shotgun or assault rifle, each of them have their drawbacks. Shotguns have limited range and assault rifles are too large to stow in a bulletproof luxury car in India. A rugged carbine is the perfect middle ground. No wonder Tom Cruise had one in his truck in Mission Impossible:3. You can borrow his plan and go for a H&K G36C, although it should be mentioned that there are several alternatives. You can choose from an AK-104, an M4A1, or an AAC Honey Badger, depending on which one suits your needs the best.

Vehicle protection is a complex initiative that begins and ends specifically with what keeps you safe. The standard notion should be to invest a bit more as your life is on the line here. Since most armoured car manufacturers focus on protection it is wise to carry some offensive measures. It is not like you have to use them very often, but when push comes to shove, it is better to be armed than dead.
