    very tricky achievement but there are a few tips to make it easier.

    Go to Options set AIM ASSIST to HIGH

    As soon as the fight starts run to the trunk of your car and select the machine gun.

    Remember to press cn_B to reload

    STrategy
    A total of 4 cars pull up but ignore the first one it pulls up straight away, focus on changin your weapon. After selecting the machine gun, stay behind your car, DONT RUN INTO AIRBASE. Pick off 1 or 2 enemies, but wait for a car to come down the main road, with aim assist to high you will easily kill him
    Now run into airbase and head behind a truck, 1 car will come from the left and one from the right, from behind the truck you will be protected from any fire and have a prime position to take the drivers out. Focus on the 1 from the left first, if you fail you should be able to get the 1 from the right.

    If all cars have pulled up and the achievement has not unlocked allow 1 of the enmies to kill you, if you restart you have to play from the burning house.

    From Comment:

    I used the auto aim, but I switched outfits to "The Sharpshooter" which allows improved shooting with the Colt .45. After putting this outfit on, I was able to get the driver in the car on the main road, then the one that came from the left quite easily on my first try with that outfit on using the handgun

    AlyselleAlso - I don’t know if anyone had mentioned it - if you fail, get yourself killed. I can’t count how many times I had to chase the stupid guy in his car.

    My RingtonesThis game flatout doesn't register headshots, this is absolute RNG luck for every single driver. However, I have to stress YOU HAVE TO GET ONLY TWO DRIVERS NOT ALL FOUR. I got the first guy and then I waited on the road for the other with the Tommy.

    Flopsy86What CM01 suggested ended up working for me, I actually shot both drivers WITHOUT auto aim on also.

    Personally I would use the Tommy Gun, that may be the reason for some of the down-votes (video they use pistol). Tommy Gun is in the trunk of your police vehicle. Just follow along with their directions and it should work after a couple tries when you get the hang of it. Took me 5 or so tries.

    AHGregThat’s their style on their guides. In general they make great guides, but sometimes they just make silly mistakes.

    Mike MarcelaisDownvoted because I think this guide is entirely unhelpful. It doesn't give any real tips for getting this and even the clip (at the end) where the achievement finally unlocks seems to rely on a lucky, long-range shot.

    This certainly was as difficult or more as everyone else said it would be. This is how I was able to accomplish this.

    1. Most important, turn aim assist off. All that ever did for me was focus on someone I didn't intend to aim at. =)

    2. Immediately focus on the first car that arrives and shoot the driver.
    This can take some practice, but the car always stops right in front of Cole and just to the left of the red barrels and the driver's head is just under that top ring on the left barrel. Watch and study where they stop. I did not change to the sharpshooter outfit and immediately focused on the spot to aim. Sometimes you will kill the passenger, and if you do, likely the driver survives. If you succeed, the driver will have his head leaning against the steering wheel. If you fail, immediately run into the fire and try again.

    As others have said, do not quit and start over, you will have to go back to the house prior to the chase again.

    2. Once the driver from the initial car is shot, go to the back of your car for the automatic gun.
    If you shoot at anyone, press cn_B to reload.

    3. Run down the street and look for the red car on your radar. If it doesn't show up, run back up the street a little and it will appear.

    4. Once the red car is in focus, aim at the windshield and fire,
    If the car swerves, it does not mean the driver is dead, it means you hit the windshield. Keep shooting.

    If you succeeded at killing the driver in the car coming up the road, you will see the achievement, and congratulations. If you did not, run into the area and start over.

    I had no luck with either vehicle inside and wouldn't bother with them. It was much easier staying out and getting the two drivers I mentioned.

    5. If you want to, turn your aim assist back on to help with the next 2 scenes. I didn't use the sharpshooter outfit for this, but you may want to consider it for the upcoming battles.

    Good luck with this. =)
