The planned counter would be for either the sicarios or the Russian to engage any such vehicle. Granted, this has very high odds of leading to those who engage being drawn into a running gunfight with police, ultimately ending in a melancholy fashion for them, but from the perspective of the leader of the OpFor, only the vehicle(s) with him and the target absolutely have to escape.

To prevent the Russian from needing to stop in order to engage, it would be awesome if he could open the rear doors of his box truck and have a fairly stable firing platform for engaging anyone following him. Moving atound some boxes to make a sniper's hide inside the box truck is easy, but can someone with Machinist and Mechanic (Automobile) at 12-14 somehow fix rear doors so that once opened while at any speed, they fall away backwards, so that they wouldn't flap around and interfere with shooting?

If so, how long would it take and what tools would one need?
