What is Accurate Enough?
- Making an effective hit
- Make someone give up
- Make them bleed out
- Turn the lights out
- Depending on what type of attacker you have (Podcast 69 Types of Attackers)
- Wimps – They see someone that will try to stop them and give up.
- Bullies – If you put up resistance they will give up.
- Dedicated – They are going to get what they want or die trying. Check out “How Much Ammo to Carry?”
- Suicidal – Plan to die in the attack, one way or the other.
How accurate do you need to be?
- Depends on what type of attacker you have
- Wimps are easy, misses will work
- Bullies, any hit will do and misses will probably work
- Dedicated need lots of hits to bleed out or a lights out shot
- Suicidal maybe a little easer as soon as it gets hard they will want to die and have that mind set
- Deliver the needed shot on demand
- Can you make the shot?
- From where you are?
- With the gun you have right now?
- In the shooting position you are given?
Is accuracy really a good thing?
- Sort of
- Only on lights out shots
- Heart shots don’t work fast enough
- Lung shots are even slower
- And liver shots take a long time to bleed out
- Officer Shot center chest with a .357 Mag and was able to fight back and stop her attacker (Sgt Stacy Lim Story of Survival)
- Head Shots don’t always work (Iowa Cop Shot in Head During Traffic Stop)
Conclusion
- Combat accuracy is a myth
- You just need to make hits until the bad guy stops
- Real close; burst to the chest and one to the head
- Problem/reason for chest shots
- Blood flow problem vs average split times for an average shooter
- There may not be any outward signs of hits
- Except what is, not what you want or think should happen
- Never Give Up! Never Give Up! Never Give Up!
