Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Mozambique drill?

The Mozambique drill is a defensive shooting technique that involves firing two rapid shots to the center mass (vascular triangle) of a threat, followed by a single, precise shot to the head for definitive incapacitation. It emphasizes speed and accuracy.

What are the key steps in performing the Mozambique drill?

The drill involves drawing your firearm, delivering two quick shots to the body, transitioning to a headshot, following the target down, scanning the area for other threats, and safely reholstering. It's a cycle of engagement and assessment.

Why is the vascular triangle important in the Mozambique drill?

The vascular triangle, located in the center mass of the torso, is targeted for the initial shots because it contains vital organs and major blood vessels, offering a high probability of stopping a threat quickly. This is followed by a headshot for guaranteed incapacitation.

How can one improve their performance in the Mozambique drill?

To improve, focus on reducing the time between shots, particularly the transition from the body shots to the headshot. Practicing consistently at the range and potentially reducing the engagement distance can also enhance proficiency.
