Mozambique Drill was introduced by Jeff Cooper. It is an advanced method of fighting with guns. Jeff came up with this technique after he heard his student's (Mike Rouseau) experience. Jeff Cooper discussed about Mozambique Drill in an article named “Commentaries” Volume1, No.1. Mozambique Drill deals with the insufficiency of guns in checking an opponent. According to the statistics, responses in gun fighting are highly unpredictable. Everyone should be ready for something worst.
In the Mozambique Drill a shooter is instructed to aim a double tap in the middle of mass which must be followed by cautiously targeted head shot. This Mozambique Drill came up in the 90s.The real story behind it is Mike Rousseaou and a terrorist with an AK- 47 rifle in an area close to Laurenco Marquez airport, Mozambique. When the terrorist advanced on Mike, Mike realizing the risk drew in a GP35, that is a Browning Hi – Power 9 mmx19 pistol and then he fired two shots at a stretch from his pistol at the terrorist. But the two shots failed to stop the attacker.
Then Mike took a targeted shot for head. The encounter finally ended by that shot. Mike came through this encounter but he later lost his life during the Rhodesian War. Thus, Mozambique Drill can be referred to as a 'defensive shooting drill'. The Mozambique Drill is designated in order to counter a loss. If an attacker cannot be stopped after having fired two rounds or in case the attacker is in a protective vest. Then the shooter must be very precise with his shots.
Mozambique Drill is a modernized method of fighting with guns.
