I shot a hostage in the shoulder one time because of that. Lucky for me he was made out of cardboard.

There should be a companion video of the explanation to the owner of the truck. "Hey dad, your gun is f---ed up because .........."

It happens. I shot the barricade with all the different cut-outs (forget what its called) in my last IDPA match.

What gets me, is that there were 2 other guys (at least) with him, and nobody had the wits to notice that the guy's barrel was resting right on the roof.

Just skim through the rule book.. Vision barrier or cover are the only two that I saw.
Remember idpa is a scenario stages. They put up barriers as walls, windows what not.

Can't say I'd ever let that happen, but for the right person, I could be tempted to.
