My uncle was in the British Army in the late 50`s and 60`s, left, moved to Rhodesia in 1970 and fought in the bush war all the way to the end, then moved to South Africa in 1980.
He taught me to shoot when I bought my first handgun in Johannesburg in 1994 and he drilled me constantly about 2 in the chest and one in the teeth...he insisted that it worked very well, he always said that with a small smirk but never elaborated on just how he knew it...
I was clued up enough to never ask...
The Bush War had a lot of brutal, close in fighting. Plenty of opportunities for someone to try out a drill like that
Your uncle was such a chad, dude. That's awesome. Long live Rhodesia.
I learned it as a 12 year old from reading "Soldier of Fortune" Man the good old days.
my grandad gave me a bunch of those as a kid, and it wasn't until I got much older it occurred to me why my mother dissaproved lol

Remember first seeing the Mozambique Drill performed by Jim Zubiena on an episode of Miami Vice, mid 1980s. The speed of his drill was bonkers. Obviously completely different with blanks for TV, but even so the dude was renowned nationally for his speed and accuracy with a 1911 in competition at that time. No doubt he drilled it with live rounds regularly enough, outrageously fast. Stuck in my mind. I'm sure that back back in those days (c.1984) he was one of few shooters and instructors in America that had even heard of the Mozambique Drill, nevermind practiced it. Dope as hell. Look it up.
I'm a little surprised that Henry didn't mention it because it's the first example that comes to mind. ua-cam.com/video/fXv8IepBVJQ/v-deo.html
I re-watched that episode recently. I always have to rewind and watch that scene multiple times. It's such a perfectly executed maneuver. There's some short interview on YT with Jim Zubiena talking about that Miami Vice episode.
Glad you mentioned that scene. That was such a good start of the top series of my youth.

We were taught the Mantra " Body, Body, Head then you know they're Dead "
My EIC team coach in the Army, had the same mantra in training. Can't shoot a pistol without hearing Body,Body,Head.
I attended LAPD academy in 1988. We were taught this, They called it “Failure Drill”.
(we'll mention this later in the video as you watch ;)
I agree that I always heard it called simply "failure drill." I haven't heard "failure to stop." Too many syllables, lol.
We called it the "Failure Drill" in the Marine Corps
Phoenix Police taught us Mozambique but told us if asked we were practicing two close targets followed by a more distant one. We carried revolvers so it's a useful drill

Star pistols were very popular in South Africa in the 70's and 80's, and I have owned two, a BKS 9mm and a PD .45ACP. We used the mod. B in the SA Navy. Star's finest moment came during the Battle of Bridge 14 in Angola in 1975. 2nd Lt. van Vuuren, having run out of 90mm ammunition for his Eland armoured car's main gun, came across 20 Cuban "advisors" near a farmhouse. They opened up with their AK's, having no effect on the Eland, but flattening the tyres. 2nd.Lt van Vuuren engaged the Cubans with his Star pistol from his turret hatch, eventually neutralising 11 of them before running out of ammunition.
They were ridiculously affordable when I was shopping for my first handgun back in 94...I settled on a brand new CZ75B and it served me faithfully until I left in 2017...
Brug 14? I remember the story in the Sunday newspaper as a kid. 👏🏻🥃🇿🇦
I remember reading about the Mozambique Drill in Soldier of Fortune magazine when I was a kid in the 80s. Yeah, I'm old. It shouldn't be culturally sensitive because black people fought on both sides of the conflict. The Cubans helped the communist forces, with the full backing of the USSR. Yes, Germany captured Belgium early in the war and Spanish Republicans helped the Germans as well, so those pistols were common in WWII. My father brought back a Spanish Astra in .32 auto that was going to be given to pilots. They found a pallet of them in a cave in Bavaria.
Same here
That's a pretty cool story my grandfather brought back some cool stuff too he was in the south Pacific and got his hands on a Japanese nambu 8mm pistol
Agreed. Read "Soldier of Fortune" as a teen in the 80s and found out about more than a few exotic (to the states) weapons employed by "Executive Outcomes," including a Hind d gunship-- which I thought was cool as hell

Spanish Republicans did not assist the Germans, Spanish Republicans fought against the Nationalists, who were supported by the Germans. Just because black people fought on both sides doesn't mean having your training linked to a country that fought for the continuation of apartheid is a bad look.
Samuel L. Jackson's character Juels from pulp fiction used a Star Model B that he called "mister nine millimeter" in the final scene. Many people thought it was a 1911, and we're confused as to why he called it a 9mm
I always thought it was a 1911. Guess I'm not as smart as I thought I was lol.
Good eye!
@@Lucas12v The Star is kind of obscure in the US and it's pretty common for movies to get things wrong like that. Quentin Tarantino is usually better than that, but it's never guaranteed
I remember learning of the Mozambique drill from late 90’s-early 2k police tactical magazines. We learned it in early 2001 at the US Army MP school house. Years later (circa 2010) back at USAMPS for the civilian DACP Academy we were taught the pelvic girdle variation. The justification was that if armed with only a sidearm the likelihood of making an accurate T-zone hit at distance against a moving assailant (this was only months after the Ft. Hood incident) it would be more likely to hit the pelvic area. This would immobilize the suspect allowing you to gain distance and make that well aimed shot.
So my Mozambique story is somewhat different. I used to play a lot of battlefield 3/4 back in the day and I loved getting head shots with pistols to finish guys off. The way i did it was starting at the mid to upper chest and then using the recoil put the last shot in the head. Which was very effective.
Then years later I was watching Garand Thumb and he did it and called it the 'Mozambique drill', I then realised that I had come up with that method completely separately just by trial and error playing Battlefield 3/4 :O
Best regards from the UK. Odd seeing a closed bolt Sterling. Never had a jam with my issue one. Nor much with a HP.
The USA is a world of guns, but most of the rest of the world isn't. Just having a gun was a plus in many of these places like remote farmers in Rhodesia. Who worries what the gun is if you are receiving incoming fire, or what you have if you have something to return fire? Sure there has been progress, but have something.
When you have mastered your modern race gun, then master the oldies too. Its just fun.
I first heard of the "Mozambique Drill" in the pages of Soldier of Fortune. there were always old copies laying around the dayroom. I love Jeff Cooper, but the two-handed Weaver stance developed by LA County Deputy Sheriff Jack Weaver and used in 1959 at a Cooper "Slap Leather" match. Jeff simply adopted it and popularized its use as one of his four tenants in his Marksmanship teachings.
My mother did police academy in Alaska in 1988. They used Mozambique drill as the term there. Because that's where I first heard the term, when she returned from the academy.
I'm the author of Bravo Ten and The Rhodesian SAS at War. I watched your video with interest. keep up the good work.
Wow! I've read Bravo Ten. A fantastic book! Pleased to 'meet' you, man!
My first time hearing about the Mozambique drill was in Magnum PI 'Mad Buck Gibson' from November 1981 :)

Many of the WW2 BHPs were made in Canada. We only just retired them this year. We also used the Sterling SMG up until 1988.
I first saw mention of the Moz drill in Cooper's writings in the 80s. I then went to 2 Gunsite crses in the 90s.
I am the proud and lucky owner of one of those beautiful Canadian BHPs....with shoulder holster. The GUN GODS were gracious to me.
Friend and Teacher Louie Awerbuck told the story of being outside one day and his Dad telling him "Dont Move!!" Louie froze and his Father produced a Star PD he didn't know he even had.
He heard the boom and looked down...his Dad had shot a Black Mamba crawling between his legs 😮

Nice to see Henry wearing AusCam!😀
Was taught the Mozambique when I was a young Probationary Constable in the Northern Territory Police Force (as it was then, in the mid-1980's) by one of my mentors, who was ex-Rhodesian Army (not part of the official training, where they were happy if you just hit the target).
PS: He didn't call it the "Mozambique Drill", he just said "If you're ever in a situation where it is absolutely life or death, use this."
I was in the class of 89 NT Correctional Services squad. One classroom instructor we had was an ex Seth Efrican police officer (from memory) who had been seconded to the Army and spent a lot of time out bush. Although he was lecturing us on NT law, he also related a couple of yarns on his time before migrating to Oz and joining the NT Police. We heard later that he had been out for a run, attempting to keep us with the Task Force guys and had suffered a heart attack and died. Poor bugger. Could he possibly have been the same bloke you knew?
IDPA in the late 90's we were shooting the drill constantly
Gotta love the "yo homie that my briefcase?"drill
Michael Mann is the G.O.A.T.
The Mozambique was also featured in an episode of 'Magnum, P.I.' A rather roguish character was firing them into the wall while bathing, to pass the time. The actor was Darren McGavin, but I don't remember the episode (it was a 2-parter, though).
And today Henry and Josh provided proof to the IRS that yes, these were "assets" for a company and can be added to depreciation lists.
I first heard it called in cadence….
“2 to the chest and 1 to the face, that’s the way we run this place”
Then came range time. Every night vision drill was the Mozambique. When I was attached to homeland security I trained way more with handguns and every drill was the Mozambique. From cover strong hand weak side etc etc
First time I saw it on screen was in an episode of Magnum P.I. (the original Tom Selleck version) I already knew what it was from Guns and Ammo or Soldier of Fortune. I love episodes like this, just 2 guys hanging out, shooting, talking history, and having fun.
First heard about it reading "Rainbow Six" as a teenager. I read about the origin in Cooper's book "To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth" which I think was a collection of stories and articles from magazines he'd written.
For Star Hammer bite: cut off a very short piece of rubber tubing in put it over the spur of the star super hammer.
I got introduced to this Drill some Years ago by Paul Harrel. Never heard of it untill then, but it seemed very efficient.

Very cool. Always love Henrys historical selections.
First time seeing the "Mozambique Drill" was the original Magnum P.I. episode 27, "Mad Buck Gibson"
One of my LEO shooting instructors back in the mid 70’s called it the triple tap. This is the first time I ever heard it called anything else.
I heard of it in the late 90s and was referred to as 'body armour' shoot. I've also seen a variation were second and third shots were double tapped, so the recoil bounces from chest to head
Now I finally understand the origin of all the Mozambique Drills on Forgotten Weapons and Garand Thumb
Darrel F Gates (Guy who created SWAT) talks about it in his book. He called it the "Failure drill"
Tom Cruise was shooting a USP-C..
My dad's Soldier of Fortune mags back in the mid 90's.
As told to me by Jeff Cooper. When Mike told Jeff the story, Mike said "I hit him, but he didn't go down". There was a poster in the Gunsite classroom, 'Revelation' that had "I hit him but he didn't go down' in a bunch of different langues.
I think the first time i learned the Mozambique drill, in the Rainbow 6 Book.
A friend of mine brought home to Norway a CZ75 from Rhodesia in 1976 og 77. Apparantly Comblock Czechoslovakia smuggled these pistols past the embargo to Africa to obtain western currency as that was the main purpose for designing this 9mm para pistol. The CZ75 is a legit "Mozambique drill" pistol.
Norway was also one of the first countries to import the CZ75 due to the fact that the Norwegian importer (Åge R. Andresen) knew how to treat delegations coming from the factories in Czechoslovakia and thus got the first shipments of the pistol. Andresen made sure that the secret policeman in the delegations always was drunk so the rest of the guys could relax. Andresen usually took them on a short cruise on his large Princess yacht 🙂 Even today it is not unusual to find very early CZ75s with serial numbers in the first 1000 pistols made in the local online ads for about $500.
Another incredible video, by an incredible duo. You know very well, especially in a week when, because of "the incident", there is a huge political movement to ban all types of weapons here in Portugal. A very difficult period for portuguese lovers of these subjects. All the best!

When I was taught this when I worked in Texas it was taught as the Mozambique Drill. It was changed to failure drill later.
First time? Early 70's reading Cooper in Handgunner magazine. The "zipper"...my FAL does that by itself! ;)
I was taught that the zipper was called "vertical tracking" here in Sweden.
This is the first time im hearing it being called a zipper as well.
Great discussion. You guys are hitting your groove with these presentations and content.
The first time I had ever heard about the Mozambique drill was from an early episode of Southland.
Another highly interesting episode 😊
Greetings from Bavaria
When the original Mozambique was fired, he shanked the head shot and smoked the BG in the neck.
First heard about the Mozambique Drill in Combat Handgun magazine in the 80's- think they said it was two in the heart- one in the head but still the same gig. Always loved the HP and Sterling ;)
Yeah, as a teen in the late 70s & early 80s, I read Soldier of Fortune magazine.
As a Cold War collector, I've got a WWII Bulgarian contract Star Model B (9mm Parabellum, ID via serial number), a Star Model A (Spanish AF, 9mm Largo), and a Star Model A Super (Spanish Army, 9mm Largo). Star Model A and B are the same except for the cartridge. Nice guns.
Loved it. More history/stories please.
8:08 I 1st heard of the Mozambique Drill from the PC video games "S.W.A.T." back in the 90's.
To touch on the topic of the Star being used in movies as a 1911…Sam Jackson’s “1911” in Pulp Fiction was actually a Star.
They do it in The Untouchables, too
I'm thinking of a later 'Peaky Blinders' episode where Thomas Shelby is about to shoot the Doctor in the driveway. Now that I've seen this I'm near certain that the pistol was a Star Super B. The external extractor had me from first viewing.
@@gyrene_asea4133 Just rewatched the scene. That’s definitely a Star. Good catch! I can’t believe I missed that.
The high power is a phenomenal hand gun. When you pick one up, it's like "oh, this is how a handgun is supposed to feel."
CZ-75 too. I appreciate modern polymer pistols for the weight reduction, but I love steel frames.
@@-Zevin- yep. Pistol whip as a backup
It was advanced when it came out.
It's still a nice pistol. One of mine is 82 years old I think. It doesn't hold 18 rounds. It isn't the lightest pistol. But it is a good shooter and puts holes where you need.

First I heard of it was from a "Mack Bolan" book back in the 80s. Second time was in the late 80s during my first firearms course: I was taught to first double tap/"controlled pair" into center mass. If that didn't work, fire a second controlled pair into center mass followed by a single shot to the head.
Now, as I understand it, people are taught to mag dump into the target...
I miss the old ways/old days.
I was training "Mozambique" back in the early 2000nds with marine corps security force company.
Nice late 1980's Australian Army "bunny camo" pants
The analysis of Collateral has to be one of the highlights of this episode.
When I was first training on the M27, and they brand new, it was the first full-auto rifle that we'd been issued. Our instructors showed a drill that they called the "Dick & Rip" drill or "RIP" drill if polite company was listening in. It was basically just a zip drill.
I spose “Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner” is about a different conflict.
It's about the Congo crisis, which is another African bush war in the 60's.
Earlier than the Rhodesian bush war, but obviously similar in many respects.
I'm sure that that "SoB Van Owen" was involved somehow. RiP Mr. Zevon.
"Soldier of Fortune" mag was one of my guilty pleasures starting when I was 13 yrs old. When I die, my kids will find a wooden ammo crate filled not with old Playboys, but with old issues of SOF mag. Yes, that's where I first learned about the Mozambique drill. Then, for years practiced what I called the, "Reverse Mozambique". Let your imagination run on what that entails.
So the first shot puts them down, but the other two shots are to cover your backside if there's a court case. 🙂
Looks like the same drill we used at the PD except it was tack tack tack tack.
I was trained in the technique in Australia in the late 90s although it was not given a name, just two in the body, one in the head. The instructor was a serving police officer whom I know had also trained in the US.
I learned of the Mozambique Drill by reading an article in a print magazine. Probably in the late 1980's or early 1990's.
So I heard the story just a bit differently from none other than Ken Hackathorn back in the 90s. Ken worked as one of the early Adjunct Instructors for American Pistol institute/Gunsite. The SAS was doing a pre-dawn raid on a ZANLA camp. One of the troopers ( a regular combat pistol competitor) was placing satchel charges in the barracks. As he came around the corner of one of the barracks buildings he was confronted by a ZANLA soldier with an AK at port arms. The trooper had a satchel charge under his left arm and extended his Browning HP strong hand only, firing two shots to the chest with no positive response from the bad guy. He then fired one shot to the head finishing the problem. After the initial action was over, the trooper went back to look at the soldier he had engaged and found that one round from his HP had hit the AK magazine, and the other had hit the receiver. A short time later, the trooper was at Gunsite and relayed the story to Cooper. The rest, as they say, is history.
I just want to correct your thumbnail and title. You have a standard issue E-11 Blaster Rifle missing its optic on that table.
I learned the Mozambique drill from one of our instructors in SA. He was a former Rhodesian. Later when I competed in IPSC it was also part of the stages.
Thanks guys. Great video.
Definitely first learned of the Mozambique Drill from good old Jeff Cooper. Very likely in "Cooper's Corner" column in G&A.
I used to have an early contract Belgian high power with the tangent sight and non holster stock. Miss that thing, it was awesome
The Mozambique drill was also shown in an early Miami Vice
The folks at Col Cooper's ranch taught me that as the failure drill
20 years before Collateral the Mozambique drill featured in Miami vice in an episode with Jim Zubiena as a hitman in the episode "Calderone's Return (Part I)"

Hi Powers were quite rare and definitely sought after. The STAR definitely had a reputation for poor manufacturing quality (no comparison with a Browning) but two 9mm you didn't mention, Uzis were much more common than Sterlings and for pistols, P1s were also very common.
you're right! I knew about tthe uzi, but i didn't know the P1 was prevalent, do you know how frequently the P1 was seen in inventory?
Just wanted to add that there were no mercenaries in Rhodesia, there were foreign volunteers who enlisted into the Rhodesian military.
While this is kinda true, if youre captured and a foreign national, you will be treated as a mercenary. Just how its always been

@@KabonkNo1 lol what is "inciting a war crime"????

I'll make it simple for you:
Ask mum or dad.
Seems like Josh was flinching pretty hard on some of those strings of fire when a shot didn’t actually go off. Not trash talking or anything, just making an observation. Probably just anticipating or overestimating the trigger pull on an unfamiliar pistol. I’ve done that plenty of times too haha. And Collateral is such a great movie!
You'll actually see quite a few high level competitors do what many people think is a "flinch". The way they train on recoil control, is immediately after the trigger pull to remediate recoil. If you put those shots on a high speed camera you'll see there is no flinch during the trigger pull, but the dip comes after the pull.
It's one of those things that's hard to explain unless you see people who professionally shoot north of 50,000 rounds a year do. A few other high level shooters have noted the same but it's not very well-documented.
@@9HoleReviews ahhh I see what you mean. Essentially just flexing in the opposite direction of muzzle rise after the trigger breaks. That makes sense, thanks for the info!
I learned about the Mozambique drill in the early nineties when I was a kid. I had a fascination with the various gun magazines (print not boxes with springs that hold ammo) and always read the Cooper's Corner section in "Guns and Ammo". The technique was mentioned multiple times.
Star 9mm…. Wow what a blast from my past. I used to shoot my dad’s Star 9mm back in the early 80’s. I forgot all about it until this video. He passed in 2007 and I have no idea what ever happened to that and many other firearms he had. Very cool! Thanks guys! 🤙🏽
I love Collateral totally one of the best movie of all time and I am not a Tom Cruise fan. But Henry you got it wrong Vincent carries a USP 45. in Collateral not the 9mm version in the movie.
Back in the day, designed to engage targets who were hopped up on special cigarettes and feeling no pain. Still valid today due to increased prevalence of body armour, as well as even more special cigarettes.
