"rhymes with fussy"? You Hoosiers do talk funny!

When I was in college, a friend of mine was in his dorm room, when a ROTC guy came in and punched him. My friend got up, said, "you made a mistake," and chased him out of the building, across the lawn, cornered him, gave him a few good shots and dropped him. Apparently they had got into an argument early in the day and the ROTC guy had been brooding about it. My friend isn't big, but he's angry.

Dear Johan_Steele;

You are right--the old range protocol when I was in uniform was one(1) head shot and two (2) heart/chest shots.

Now for the women in uniform, they liked adding a forth shot--as they would explain to the DI; men have two heads--kill 'em both. LOL; so their first three were regulation and the forth a tad lower but--it was "head shot" -- LOL

Just some thoughts.

Respectfully submitted for consideration with a bit of wit,

Thanks for sharing that one, Blue. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I particularly liked the line about the taxidermist.

But, I wouldn't waste ammo on excess shots. Might run into more problems as I walk on.

Of course I would replentish my clip, clean my Glock and holster it with satisfaction and wash my hands and arms with kerosene to mute the blackpowder residue.

Just some thoughts.

I was trained to cease firing when there is no longer a threat. If one shot was all that was required, that's all that should be fired. One thing to remember is that any handgun bullet does not necessarily incapacitate the target. Sometimes multiple hits are required and as Shane suggested, two to the body, one to the head (failure drill). Even a shot to the head isn't guaranteed unless it destroys the cerebal cortex. Anyone who has read Charles Henderson's biography of Carlos Hathcock, Marine Sniper, will recall the incident where Hathcock shot one hamburger with a 30-06 rifle. The hamburger responded by charging in Hathcock's direction. Hathcock put another bullet into his target. The target didn't stop. Only when Hathcock put one in the head did he go down and stay down. The 30-06 is the caliber our troops carried in WW I through Korea. It's a major caliber and even one hit from it could not stop that determined hamburger.
