When you are driving a car in GTA 5, you cannot shoot right ahead unless your car is equipped with ammunition. You will have to look towards your left and then towards your right using the ‘Q’ and ‘E’ buttons on your keyboard. You can then click the right button on your mouse to aim and the left button to shoot.

When you level up and get access to various missions, you can buy cars which are equipped with sub-automatic machine guns. These guns are located in the front quarter panels. Once activated, you can easily shoot at people or vehicles right in front of you. Needless to say, these ammunition-equipped cars are very expensive, so you need to have sufficient GTA dollars to own one.
