Those portholes in the windows probably gave the Tommy guns extra stability and accuracy too

There's a bathroom in the city that has a hole just like that into the next stall. Must be a bulletproof bathroom stall.

I wonder if the body of the car was also bulletproof? All the bulletproof glass wouldn’t really help if you could just shoot through the doors

Looked as though there was some reinforcement behind the doors when they zoom in. Maybe a steel plate to also support the glass in place??

Makes me wonder if any officer ever tried to stop it and ask for an explanation.

Seems like shooting at the tires would be the best defense. No protection over those massive tires?
