He combined horse and [[carriage]] with a machine gun in order to quickly assault targets then flee before they could properly react. It was called a [[Tachanka]].

Motor vehicles offer similar concealment for transport of weapons to [[crime scene]]s in situations like the [[2015 San Bernardino attack]], and can simultaneously serve as [[Crime scene getaway|getaway vehicles]]. Using a vehicle allows the shooter to approach the intended target without being noticed and then to speed away before anyone reacts. Besides [[gang]]-related attacks, drive-by shootings may result from [[road rage]] or personal disputes between neighbors, acquaintances, or strangers unrelated to gang membership.<ref name=asu />
