- Remember our video on “Controlled Pairs or Double Taps”? Anyone worth shooting once, is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Sid, at T1G, covered the difference between a “Controlled Pair” (used at longer distances) and a “Hammered Pair” (used at closer distances). Well, in this video Sid is back and he is going to take us to the next step: The Failure Drill.
Why shoot someone more than once? Sometimes it takes more than one bullet. So, what makes you think that you should stop at twice? Reality dictates that you need to keep shooting until the threat is neutralized. If that means two bullets, fine. However, what about if the target (human) is not reacting to your shots? What if he is wearing body armor? Should you keep wasting ammo while he continues to close on you? Hell no! We need to switch to a body area that is not hidden by the armored plate… Hence, the birth of the Failure Drill.
We teach to start “center mass” or high chest of the target. However, after that double tap, you then move your point of impact up into the brain housing box. Why don’t we just start with a well-placed round to the head? It is a lot faster to start with the chest, as it is a much larger target. Remember, at 3 meters (inside a room) the bad guy with the AK-47 is not going to miss you. So, you have to be faster to get that first bullet off. That’s why speed is so important. Shoot him fast in the chest to knock him off balance (before he can shoot you), then keyhole him up in his melon with a well placed shot.
Notice I said move your point of impact up into the brain box? I did not say point of aim. That is because, at close CQB distances, if you aim between the eyes you will really hit him down in the jaw where the bullet is likely to glance left or right. Why? This is called “off-set” and is caused because the sights on your rifle are mounted several inches above the actual barrel of your rifle. Hitting him in the jaw does not take him out of the fight. You have to hit the brainstem, or what we call the “T Box” (ocular and nasal cavities).
Now, that “T-Box” is a very small target. That’s why some LE departments actually teach a Failure Drill that goes 2 shots to the chest followed by one shot to the Pelvic Girdle. Why? The pelvic girdle is a much larger target and, while it does not incapacitate immediately, it takes away the mobility of the perpetrator. Meaning, he can no longer run around the streets of LA shooting cops behind their cars with an AK. He is down and not going anywhere.
Most modern SOF units do not use the failure drill for reacting to a target wearing body armor. Rather, we use the Zipper Drill, which walks rounds from the chest all the way up into the head. Same effect, a little faster, and ammo is cheap.
So why do I like to teach the Failure Drill. Two reasons. First, we use it as a building block for going from Double Taps to Box Drills. Second, and more importantly, it teaches the importance of hitting that “T-Box” and turning his lightswitch off.
Picture hitting a house doing a hostage rescue. Third room has 4 “unknowns” and 1 armed bad guy. Those first shots need to hit that bad guy FAST. Actually, faster that fast. However, it may take several minutes for him to bleed out. Now, I need to be able to turn my back on him so I can deal with the other 4 non-combatants in the room. They may be friendly or not. Doesn’t matter, we still need to deal with them. I can’t take the chance of letting this dying bad guy, laying next to his AK, pop a few rounds into the backs of me or another assaulter before his last breath. I need to be able to turn my back on him, knowing he isn’t going to get back in the fight. I need to turn off his “light switch.” That means the “T-Box.” It doesn’t matter if he is wearing body armor. It matters that his light switch has been switched off for good and fast, so I can back to work. Maybe not politically correct, but tactically correct.
The Failure Drill is a great combat shooting drill. Next, keep your eyes out for the “Box Drill” and many other great shooting videos, coming soon to a Tactical Rifleman website near you.

Anyone here from Chris the cop at gameology 😂
Same
Same here
yes
Yep
Yeah boi!
the failure in the failure drill is not that you failed to hit your target is that your target failed to die.
Failure to get the desired effect
@@TacticalRifleman lol i know but saying it like that sounds cool in cowboy mentor way. good stuff though. very professional.
"The Brain Housing Group" aka "The skull" 😂😂😂
If you do the failure drill that fast, do u even have the time to judge if the first to bullets did what they meant to do?
I guess that's why it's necessary to train a lot
most of the time failure drills/body armor drills are meant for suspects with body armor or a individual who won't stop no matter how many center of mass shots are placed
I think they don't take it into account since you are not firing 3 times at a target you want alive. If you miss the third shot you might get a chance to care about the first 2 but my guess you care about the target afer the third shot is fired
Well I’m pretty sure if you are shot with no armour your gonna fall down to the ground quite fast and the control they have over the gun, they can just not shoot you in the forehead
Its split second decisions. So yes. They train day in day out to assess what the shooter is doing, and decide if they need to shoot for the face. You have to be quick in situations like that, or else you'll end up being the one with a bullet between the eyes.
Very clear and concise video.
Yo vine por Gamology 😆
She was a definite financial threat...
So a Mozambique drill?
Aaron Golosov
In Sweden we have a saying, beloved child has many names.
It was also called a "failure to stop drill" because the dude in Mozambique failed to stop the assailant and went for the head. Then people shortened it to "failure drill".
@@ChucksSEADnDEAD nah it was a politically correct thing.
I've heard em called Djibouti Shooties.
Yes and No...
the Mocambique dont allways say shot to the T box.
If Your 2 hits centermass dont work - T box.
So the instruktur/RO desides a T box shot.
The best I have seen, was a guy that got ballons on the back of the target, if the centermass shots did not take out the ballons, it was still up - T box it 😀
To train 2+1 everytime - You can just skip it and do the zipperdrill - because You Know it will fail... and you dont trust your 2 first rounds. train to fail - You will fail. 😞
I do love this way of the Moc. Fast shots - new target, slover shot. Good training!
Only one question. Why so many women targets who are just casually drawing a gun. Why not have combatants with drawn on armor? Maybe that parts rare idk just funny to me! 😂
Forgot the other part - anything worth shooting, is worth shooting twice/the only thing worse than shooting something you shouldn't, is shooting it twice.
I was always trained that the failure drill was 2 to the chest 1 to the hip to halt the assailant then 1 in the head.
Otherwise all you're really doing is a modified Mozambique drill for the carbine instead of the pistol.
The one to the hip is supposed to stop them in their tracks so they could potentially live for questioning later. And only if their body doesn't fail to you resort to the kill shot. Under your circumstances if you have that clear of a shot to your target you could just shoot them right in the face.
Just the method to my madness.
If youre using lethal force, the time to kill is already upon you. One to the hip is just asking for a law suit and wasting ammunition. Im coming from a LEO background though... military may be different.
Not wrong with that. In the Marines, we trained both ways with a shot to the pelvic girdle or a T-Box shot. It all depends on what you come into contact with. If it is just to stop the target from moving so they can be brought in, hip shot (and then probably get yelled at by command for shooting them in the dick). Kill them? Right in the T-Box. As T484 said, with an LEO view, a shot to the hip during a deadly force scenario will bring up a lawsuit against you for "causing the individual unnecessary pain and suffering during an apprehension when deadly force was warranted" or whatever the lawyer words it as.
Rifle qual in the Marine Corps counted the hip and the T-Box as being acceptable for the failure drill (with hip being preferable as you had a larger area to fire at). I assume that after the round has finished ricotheting in the hip region, there won't be any fight left in the target. I never had to use it, just had to fire warning shots which got the message across.
Shooting someone on the ground who is incapacitated surely wont fly in LE. Though in military you can still capture them, or kill them as needed. Their suffering is not of priority when they try to kill you, and they have possibly valuable info.
Hey tactical rifleman this isn't about a drill but does any suppressor size matter for like a sbr or a assault rifle
You want short & light.
Holy shit he's got more hardware on that thing then a Rona.
Keep ya gun in the us!
is the intent of the two shots to the chest to warn or to disarm them before immediately killing them
Two shots do more tissue damage than one.
So what is the plan if they have face armor and helmets too?
Face Armor isnt effective. After a couple 5.56 A face shield would be absolutely toasted.
@@masoncannon3616 you haven't watched any recent l3a face helmet reviews, have you? They stop 50AE at point blank range even.
Name one person anywhere that wears one? Anywhere? Then, add neck trauma from snap, and the fact that ALL face armor fails after multiple shots.
Regardless, the point of the Failure Drill is to get two shots center mass to knock them off balance; then aim for a soft spot ( head/neck/pelvis). Thanks for watching, TR
@@TacticalRifleman SASR, GIGN since like 1995, Mexican avocado cartels are even wearing them these days. They're just not standard issue for most military. There's videos on yt here of gangbangers taking a 38 special in the chest while wearing l3a and he doesn't go down. Haven't seen anyone dumb enough to try live testing a helmet though, none of them have bullet resistant eye holes yet still
Take the toes
Why not put the first 2 rounds in the pelvic girdle if you know the target has armour?
It's not a matter of knowing, the drill is just in case someone comes around a corner and you don't have the time to fight the instinct to shoot center mass so that you don't have to take time deciding. Realistically speaking a person under combat stress getting shot in the pelvis probably won't even feel it before the final shot goes through the brain so there's not much added benefit. If there' s some guy running to cover 100 meters away from you and he's got armor on then yeah you aim for the hips and legs. But at close range you can't hesitate because you're deciding to shoot at the hips or chest.
Which zero do you all like to use for your irons/optics?
James Hull Zero distances vary by what your mission or situation is. The military still zeros at 25 meters, to have that bullet come back down on target at 300 meters. I’m not real big on that, because it has you hitting way “high” at 175 meters. For a “close-in” CQB Rifle, I prefer a 50 meter Zero. This is also know as a “Point Blank Zero.” Depending on your type of ammo, most 5.56mm ARs, with a 50 meter zero, will have a “Point Blank Zero” out to 200 meters. By that, I mean that the bullet will not rise more than 5 inches or fall more than 5 inches above or below line of sight. That will keep you on a head-sized target (10 inches) all the way out to 200 meters. Past that, and now you get into using hold-overs.
Most of my Sniper Rifles, I zero at 100 meters. It just makes for easier math when using a Scope with a BDC or when using Ballistic Software.
When I was in, which was as recent as 2012, the Marine Corps zeroed at 36 yards to hit at 300 yards. Where are you getting your information on the "military?" Some of the ranges were on meters and you used Kentucky Windage (and elevation to hit), which was easy enough once you learned how far to aim above/sideways. I shot Rifle Expert every time on the range, from boot camp with iron sights to every time I was in the fleet with an RCO.
@@TacticalRifleman Excellent! TY
James Hull I personally like a 5-1000 yard zero. Sure, shots around 400 yards are gonna be roughly 40 feet high, but it's worth it. I'm kidding. 50-200 for me.
What about a charging target? Wouldn't it be easier to drop a moving target by drilling the hip flexors??
I've never seen that attempted in self defense shooting. Because of the practicalities of real life defensive shooting, most individuals can be stopped with multiple rounds in the center chest area.
@@LordSStorm yeah but I'm more so thinking about those cracked out individuals. At least in terms of the "aim for the head idea" hip flexors would be a better target. Other than that I agree, center mass all day
@@don8659 If you manage to damage the spine with one of those center mass shots no amount of narcotics will keep them charging.
como poner pared glo agachado
oops i ment to put in the sartch bar
Yeah... we shoot women round here 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
You shitlord! Did you just assume xir gender?!?!?!
Question. Why use the term ‘brain housing’ instead of just saying ‘head’?
We are not aiming at the whole head; just the cranial vault
@@TacticalRifleman got you. Specifically a brain shot.
Lets see a video on AR malfunction
Mortarman technique will solve all your problems, lol. It's not hard to resolve malfunctions in AR platform weapons. You should be able to find a detailed instructional manual with a quick google search. If not, send me a private message and I can get you hooked up.
Where can I get that target
I believe they are from ActionTargetsdotcom
@@TacticalRifleman thanks!
1:20😬👀
how can a lad stop what he is doing in 0.2 seconds?
It's not fail, everyone else in CS:GO only goes for just 1 shot to the head. Why am I wasting my time for 2 extra body shots?
Incorrectly done. But nice shooting.
How was it done incorrectly done?
@@cheekboy7247 the follow up is too fast. No time for target assessment.
@@nuclearjanitors what do you mean? He shot off a double tap and then shot the target in the head. Nothing incorrectly done.
@@cheekboy7247 In theory you are both right, this is how the drill is performed, but realistically in a defensive shoot, you would need to take some time to see that the first two shots had not been effective and to transition to a head shot. But realistically this is unlikely to be done in a defensive shoot. Unless you know already the target is armored...
Lmfaoooooo
But... Why were you shooting her? She was cute, gf material! Oh man, all the good ones are taken or dead.
you down bad.
That’s why it makes a good target, it disrupts your thinking
Lmao, why is the target a woman
Why not?
they are one of the apex predator- they will own 1/2 of your stuff. and you will be stuck paying them to do it
Brain housing group? So we just have to make up words to sound more tacticool? What wrong with the word head dude.
brain housing group is a term used in military instruction its been around a long time.
Eli Hedden
Shooting someone in the jaw or the side of the skull is far from a certain kill. Brain housing is basically center of the head where a shot has very high probability of instantly killing.
Eli Hedden I agree. The tacticool shit is out of hand. The geeky fat instructor on the USCCA channel has his shooters follow the target to the ground, and scan to both sides, and behind them, EVERY SHOT. I stopped watching him. Nobody should be allowed to turn the coolest sport in the world, into a nerdfest. He's a DORK.
