Chapter 47: Tactical Shooting
The impact of this incident in the ranch was still slightly beyond Shi Lei's expectations.
The next day, Shi Lei just ran a few laps around the main room, and went to the gym to play dumbbells, Shi Lei imitated the bridge in the movie, straightened his arms directly, held dumbbells, and mainly used the large weight of dumbbells to exercise the strength of his forearms and the endurance and stability of his arms.
As soon as he finished doing this, he was going to change into tactical clothes and go to the mountaintop shooting range to find Hanks to start training, Shi Lei's mobile phone kept ringing. They were all the friends he had recently met in the neighborhood. Most of them expressed their concern for Shi Lei and the ranch, and also expressed their praise for the dogs in the ranch.
Playboy Robinson first talked to Shi Lei about the smart home factory that several people jointly invested in last time, and now after several people's investment of 5 million US dollars was invested, they got the controlling stake in the creative company, and now the factory has begun to embark on a new path of rapid development with the injection of large sums of money. Robinson said the factory's profitability is just around the corner.
Then the conversation changed to the same battle between the ranch dogs and the coyotes. In the end, he euphemistically said that he wanted a dog from the ranch. Shi Lei thought about it and agreed, just send him an ordinary ranch dog when the time comes, and it is very cost-effective to exchange a low-cost dog for deepening the relationship between the two parties. After all, you only ask for pets if you're a friend.
What Shi Lei didn't expect was that Lincoln, who looked stricter, also expressed similar thoughts, but he was more demanding at the beginning, and what he wanted was Shi Lei's pets, just give him one, but Shi Lei still politely but resolutely refused, and finally said that he would give him an ordinary dog from the ranch.
Lincoln was still glad to express his gratitude, and it seemed that he did really like the dogs' appearances. Of course, Shi Lei must have told him that it was very common for him to send a dog.
After dealing with these calls, Shi Lei brought his long and short guns, put on the equipment and came to the mountaintop shooting range, now the mountaintop shooting range has changed greatly, the platform on the top of the mountain is no longer just a few simple targets, but has become a very planned perfect training ground, of course, this kind of perfection is relative, at least for training Shi Lei is enough. And Hanks has been waiting here for a long time.
After seeing Shi Lei coming, Hanks quickly entered the role of an instructor.
"From today onwards, I will train you in all aspects. Preliminary arrangements were made for actual combat shooting training in the morning and combat training in the afternoon. Unless there are special circumstances, train five days a week and rest for two days.
I hope that from today onwards, you will be able to hold yourself to the standards of a military man. Although I know that you are a strong learner, I don't want you to take these trainings lightly because of this. Hanks said sternly to Shi Lei.
"Yes, sir." Shi Lei gave a military salute.
"My goal is to train myself to be a qualified fighter. I will not relax my demands on myself, please rest assured. Shi Lei also strictly assured.
"Good. Now for this morning's training session. The most widely used basic shooting method in modern combat shooting is the Mozambique shooting method, also known as the defeat shooting method. Hanks said seriously.
"The Mozambique Drill is another melee shooting technique that evolved from a quick two-shot combo. This requires two quick shots to the target's body, followed by a quick upward shot to the target's head, i.e. a doubletap plus a headshot.
The purpose of the first two shots is to hit the target faster and more accurately, it is always easier to hit the chest than the head, and to make the target unable to resist for a short time, while the third shot is to destroy the brain and make the target 'stop' for a longer period of time, or 'stop' forever. This shooting technique is used to kill the opponent by shooting the torso even if the opponent is still unable to stop the opponent's threat. That's why it's also called the Failed Shot Method.
Jeff Cooper, a retired Marine and a well-known American firearms expert, was the first to propose this kind of tactics in the teaching of tactics, based on the actual combat experience of one of his students, Mike Rousseau, who was a mercenary in Mozambique, and Rousseau himself was later killed in the Rhodesian Civil War.
Why is the Mozambican shooting method so popular? Why is it that two bullets in the center of the torso often fail to stop the other? There are many reasons for this
First of all, whether the bullet hits the target's torso effectively or fatally depends entirely on which human organ it hits in the end, and actual combat is different from training, such as sudden violent incidents, even well-trained shooters are difficult to fully play the level on the training ground, which involves' The question of whether it is more important to hit and stop the threat of the opponent first or to pursue a one-shot kill', so the Mozambican shooting method requires the shooter to quickly complete two shots in the center of the torso in order to stop the opponent's movement first, without hesitation or even without aiming, and whether to hit the sternum without aiming depends on a lot of training.
For example, in reality, the target is often very strong, or wears a lot, thick clothing, equipment, and even bulletproof vests are commonplace, so the first two bullets in the chest often cannot completely stop the opponent's action and resistance, and can only play a role in delay, so it is necessary to quickly make up for the head during the interval when it is temporarily stopped. Hanks explained in detail.
"Of course, the Mozambican shooting method is not suitable for all occasions, it is mainly suitable for close-range encounters, for example, the United States police have done a nationwide statistics of police and bandit shootouts, 70% of the gunfights are less than 10 meters away, which is where the Mozambican shooting method comes in. At a distance of 10 meters, it should not be difficult for a well-trained person to hit the opponent in the torso with two first shots.
At the same time, we must not assume that the other party with a gun does not have body armor or other improvised bulletproof measures, this assumption is very dangerous and potentially fatal, and what if the magazine cannot stop the other party? That's why it's important to try to make up for a shot in the head when you hit your opponent in the chest and briefly stop him from shooting.
That's why it's also called the "Failed Shot Method", which is used to kill the head as quickly as possible when two shots can't stop the opponent's behavior, not to waste bullets and time.
You may not be able to get an intuitive impression of this. Have you watched "The Line of Fire" and "Murder by a Knife"? Hanks asked Shi Lei.
"Well, I've seen both movies more than once." Shi Lei replied affirmatively.
"The Mozambican shooting method was used several times in The Line of Fire, and the arrangement was clearly to show that they were a very professional and dangerous group of robbers. This is supposed to be the first time that the Mozambican shooting method has appeared in a film.
But the Mozambique shown in "The Line of Fire" is relatively slow, probably just to show the audience more clearly the whole process. A more shocking, professional, and cool demonstration of Mozambican shooting is Tom Cruise's "Murder with a Knife".
The film's weapons and tactics consultant is a former Navy SEAL with combat experience, and he gave Tom Cruise a lot of training before the film, and there is no doubt that Tom Cruise is also very hardworking, as his skills in the film are enough to prove it.
At the time of filming, the former Navy SEAL asked Tom Cruise to aim for the five shots in 1.6 seconds, which was quite a high demand, and the original SWAT instructor asked the officers to do three shots in two seconds. But what about Tom Cruise, after a lot of training, he shot these five times with a .45 pistol during the filming of this scene, knocking out two people in just 1.39 seconds!
Of course, I think with your marksmanship and talent, you will definitely be able to surpass Tom Cruise after training. In the end, Hanks did not forget to encourage Shi Lei.
"At that time, when I was watching "Murder with a Knife", the scene of Tom Cruise killing two little ** people left a deep impression on me. But at that time, I just felt that the action was designed more professionally, neatly and neatly, and there was no deliberate posing. I just know what it is, but I don't know why. It turned out that he was shooting in Mozambique. Shi Lei said with some understanding.
"Yes. Tom Cruise is very professional at the table. The film fully demonstrates the various practical applications of this shooting method. Shoot from standing, encounter enemies with guns at close range, shoot from the ground, and more. These are also things that you will learn later. In addition, there is also the way to shoot after injury, etc., and I will train you as well. Since you have learned, you must learn comprehensively and solidly. Hanks said seriously, still serious.
"Well, of course. I can't wait. Where do we start? Shi Lei asked eagerly.
"Starting training is, of course, the easiest way to shoot on the feet. You've trained before, now let me see the results of your training. Hanks said.
So, Shi Lei began his solo performance, and the actual shooting action of the M686 revolver and the M1911 automatic pistol was all performed aside. Especially in the M1911, Shi Lei can already accurately control himself to hit multiple targets at the same time very quickly, wait for the last bullet to be loaded, and then withdraw the magazine and quickly replace it with a new magazine, so as to avoid the time of hanging up in an empty warehouse.
After watching Shi Lei's demonstration, Hanks was a little speechless for a long time.
"Hey Hanks, what do you think of my stand-up shot?" Shi Lei asked with some expectation.
Hanks, who was on the side, recovered from his state of loss and shook his head in a somewhat complicated mood.
