How many points of cover are identified on a sedan?

• A. 14
• B. 18
• C. 20
• D. 16

Answer: (D)

Points of cover are solid parts of a vehicle that can shield you from exposure or gunfire. A sedan’s shape provides multiple distinct cover locations around its perimeter and at key structural points. When you map out all the usable, protected spots on a typical sedan—cover in front around the engine area, the front fenders and bumper corners, the door frames and pillars on both sides, the doors themselves, the wheel wells and rocker panels, and the rear area including the trunk and rear bumper corners—you end up with sixteen separate, usable positions. This count reflects how the car’s geometry creates multiple discrete opportunities to shelter or reduce visibility from different angles.

That’s why sixteen is the best answer here: it aligns with the standard practical tally used in training, representing the common, repeatable set of cover points on a sedan. The other numbers would either omit spots that practitioners routinely count or overestimate spots that aren’t practically usable under typical engagement conditions.
