home.snafu.de/l.moeller/Englisch/Gunfight.htmThe third regular solution to this problem is the Mozambique Drill (aka Drug, Body Armour; or Failure to Stop, drill.) During turbulent years in Mozambique this technique was born. Jeff Cooper told me, one of his students, John Rousseau, was set upon by an AK-47 armed guerilla, complete with fixed bayonet - apparently intent to stick him en brochette.
Rousseau, an accomplished pistolero drew his Browning P-35 and hammered attacker twice amidships. Satisfied with marksmanship and quick reflexes, he lowered the pistol ... and was astonished to realize, his unimpressed adversary still charged. Rousseau quickly brought his pistol to shoot for the brain. Even the best of us would be rattled in similar circumstances and Rousseau was no exception. He fired his last shot in a time nick, but was a little low. Instead of the brain, it entered between the clavicles and broke the spine. A severed spine is pretty conclusive .
Rousseau related the incident to Jeff Cooper and thus the Mozambique Drill was Born: two shots to the chest area, lower the pistol to review the results. If the adversary is down, all is well. But if not , a single surgical shot to the head. (In training environments, the instructor calls for the head shot.) But it is one thing to pull this off, an demand, against benign paper targets. Against an armed agressor, who trys to kill you, it is quite another.
