I end every practice session with several reps of the failure drill. Given the fact that the majority of shootings occur at 3 yards or less it is especially useful and relevant.

I usually put 3-5 into the chest then go head on my drill… why stop at two when the mag holds 17-21.
I’d do 2 if I knew there were multiple assailants to save ammo, but single threat is getting more than 2 rounds

In today's politicly correct world using the term Mozambique drill isn't safe to say. When you have prosecutors who try to say if you play call of duty makes you an angry person, then the best thing is to say they kept attempting to harm me so I shot him in the head to stop him from harming me. When that didn't work I finished the 20 rounds in my pistol and then went to my rifle, followed by my shotgun. Followed by the antitank launcher...
In my short tour with an Auxiliary Security Force at one of the naval bases I served at, we were taught by a US Marine Gunny to use 2 center mass, 2 head, 2 center mass, reload. We started at 15 yards moved to 7 then 5. 3 mags all told. Lots of holes in those targets. Vintage 45’s.

I think on a battlefield or civil unrest where you have lots of folks to deal with, possibly at once, yes double chest, 1 head makes sense.
You only have so much ammo on you.
Known Single assailant like a one on one robbery, they are getting a few more rounds

Snoop Dogg has a song, "Pump Pump" on the album Doggystyle from 1993 that covered this exact Mozambique Drill. Check it out fellas.Hello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com.
