Why

Its a numbers game. First of all, the a/c skin is NOT titanium (well, cept for the Niki). So, rounds can in fact pierce the skin. If he fires enough rounds in the general direction sooner or later he will get a couple of pings. Second, the rounds trajectory is not flat, and its fairly rare for anyone to make a 'dead 6' shot, as you will usually be above, to the left, etc, but no dead centre 6.

So heres a test for the damage model naysayers, lets, say a mere 5 rounds enter the general area of the engine block out of a thousand sprayed rounds. Now, go borrow a friends 50 cal (I know you yanks have these stashed everywhere), take it out to your car, and randomly fire 5 rounds into the engine block area.

Next post your results on how driveable your vehicle was afterwards. For good measure a couple of your should try just 1 or 2 rounds, and another couple should try say 20 rounds.
