Videos tagged with Pelvis Shot

This video features retired Sergeant Major Kyle Lamb demonstrating a critical AR-15 training drill focused on effective target engagement under pressure. Lamb, a highly experienced special operations veteran, breaks down the drill into specific shot placements: three to the chest, one to the head, and one to the pelvis, emphasizing the importance of the lower torso when facing armored threats. The session highlights the need for controlled cadence, accurate transitions, and aggressive gun handling to achieve optimal performance metrics like split times.

In a close-quarters attack scenario with only seconds to react, the choice between shooting center mass or the pelvis depends on the attacker's proximity. While a pelvis shot aims to incapacitate, it carries a higher risk of missing or only grazing the target, potentially failing to stop the threat. Center mass, targeting vital organs like the lungs, heart, or liver, is generally more reliable for immediate incapacitation, as superficial hits are less likely to stop a determined attacker.
