I got this from the Gun, Holsters and Gear blog. I don't know if this is real or web folklore but what caught my attention wasn't the issue with whether Delta Teams are using Glocks or 1911's...what caught my attention is this part of the story...
When talking concealed carry...heck even law enforcement. If this ever catches on then you're going to see bad guys dying in some pretty gruesome ways.
5 across the pelvis.
Nasty.
Real nasty.
I like it.
Time to change my training routine...web folklore or not.
And we changed the way we shoot. In training Army it was two in the chest and one in skull if needed. Now, if I give you 1 you are getting 2, if I give you 2 your are getting 5, if you get 5 then you get the rest of the mag. Plain and simple I am not going to let you get up and hurt one of my team mates.Quite honestly that never occurred to me.
And we will put all my shots right across your pelvis and then the shoulder girdle. I don’t care if you got a trauma team on hand, 5 shots across the pelvis and you ain’t getting up. The enemy is likely to wear some kind of armor now a days just as much as we are. 2 in a 3×5 card ain’t cutting it. So there are lots more ammo expended in training, which effects how well the guns hold up also.

Yep, in this day and age all shooting training is going that way. With drugs, body armour and suicide bombers / mass shooters as the big threats, it's no longer sufficient to line up the centre of seen mass and put a round into it.
ReplyDeleteNow it's put rounds into it until they are down and stay down or it won't be just the bad guy that (hopefully) dies. He WILL take others with him.
Sad, but that's the way fthe world in these times.
I don't know if you've ever watched Deadliest Warrior, but recently there was an episode in which they pitted the M4 against the AK. The former Ranger that was on the course when he entered the building was putting at least 5 shots into each dummy. He stated the same thing in his after action interview in that it is necessary now to put more rounds into the enemy, because you don't want him getting up, no matter the ammo cost.
