Old Failure Drill, 2 shots to the chest, one shot to the cranium. Been that way as long as I can think of the term, and the process being in existence.
However, buddy of mine just got done with Basic in the Marine Corps. and even though he was assigned a Squad Automatic Weapon for the majority of his time on the range, he stated to us that the failure drill had changed; It is now Two Shots to the Chest, and 1 Shot to the Groin. Marines changed it to keep the focus always at a greater area of mass appearantly.
Now I'm curious (hence the cat avatar, know my curiosity will bite me on the bum one day) would this be a good change for law enforcement as well, since in California according to a pal who graduated from the AHC Academy, folks are trained to Shoot in 3 burst volley's. But he didn't go on in detail about it, probably since I was more concerned with asking him about the PT stuff.
Cars, Bookwork, and Shooting, are pretty much no brainers for me. Getting prepared for the physical beat down, thats a priority, but this technicality from the marine corps, has been on my mind, especially with my Criminal Investigations paper being a Dynamic Study of Terminal Ballistics (Tungsten is Cool).
Would this set up 2-Chest 1-Groin be preferable to the 2-Chest 1-Head for LEO's. Seriously since the head is a tiny little target especially when its moving, and the groin area has some serious destruction possibilities Femoral Arterty (sp?) anyone?
