Heh. They're still at the procurement stage.

And the guy mainly behind it is a Pure Mortal so, as he puts it "My Catch is damage." Making vehicles specifically to kill him is just...unnecessary. Not that he's not terrifying (he's an Ex-British Special Forces and current Arms Dealer with a penchant for weapons to take out the supernatural), but you can kill him with, y'know, bullets.

They may be crippled, maimed or just severely burned, and they may yet die from an infection or other complication, but such a death would not be directly caused by magic insofar as the Lawbreaker power is concerned (the White Council may see things differently, ahem).

Indirect effects can insulate you, to a point.  If you use your magic to push someone off a building and they fall to their death; they were killed by gravity, not magic; but it's still a first law violation.
