Yep! My own mental images were similar. Eyes the size of dinner plates and a distinct funky smell coming from the cab of the vehicle.
They drive up, a second time mind you, with a pop gun, plink plink, and receive in return a literal hail of bullets. I know what catching round sounds like on a helicopter. The pucker factor is suddenly exponential. Now imagine these two yutes's faces as they look at each other in disbelief while their ride catches fourty rounds. I bet they were BOTH stomping on the gas pedal at the same time.
