Mozambique Drill - Collateral

[ItzDuckSauce]

This isn't a collateral...If it was it would have been 1 shot 2 hits or 1 shot 2 kills

[mec567]

@ItzDuckSauce Please, read the movie title.

[ItzDuckSauce]

@mec567 I get the mozambique part...but no collateral

[mec567]

@ItzDuckSauce The film that this clip is from is called Collateral.

[ItzDuckSauce]

@mec567 well fuck me sideways

[mec567]

@ItzDuckSauce I'll pass

[ItzDuckSauce]

@mec567 lol



[JohnnyMidnight1]

He mozambique'd that chink bastard lol

[bobbygnosis]

@JohnnyMidnight1 In terms of epithets he'd be a 'gook.'

[IMFDB]

It's sad that in the end of the movie Vincent's persistent shooting got him killed because he was shooting at metal that was shaped like a upside down T with Jamie Foxx behind it.

[Hutaree2010]

I like it when he crashed the F-14 into the Nascar killing the evil genius samurai who was trying to unleash the virus on the world. Go Tom!

[niptuck117]

One of the greatest Mozambique Drill's I have ever seen.

[AtticWarrior1994]

Holy shit, that was badass.

[cheech85086]

This is not the best example from this movie. Check out the "Stolen briefcase scene". Much, much cooler...

[Vanguard45]

Round Count: 2 into guy with laser sighted pistol 2 into wall over gangsters 3 from ground (shown twice from two angles and your "hear" four shots the second time) 2 kneeling 1 into guy with gun who shoots in the air as he falls 2 into guy in white coat by target 1 into target RELOAD 3 into target That's 12+1 and yes, it was a H&K USP in .45ACP!

[stealthbeast]

Er lol. Maybe a really SLOW mozambique drill.

[lookingglassedge]

Why are people talking shit about a movie that for the most part is pretty well accurate regarding guns all the while they sit quietly when Schwarzeneggar unloads a hundred rounds out of an M16 without ever reloading.

[ARS1290]

Retards.

An Hk USP 9mm holds 15+1. In this scene, Vincent fired at least 18 rounds between reloads.

Michael Mann stated that Vincent was carrying a USP45, which only holds 12+1.

Its a movie.

[Krypticflask]

Retard count he shot 8 rounds in that one clip he reloaded after he shot two rounds.!

[Krypticflask]

And plus And Hk USP 9mm he could be using an extended magazine or a extended USP 45 magazine plus fuck its just a movie you retard.

[vr4evo]

somebody get andrewfisher16 a tissue

[Tomothethingo]

I'm definitely no tom cruise, fan, but collateral, just awesome.

[LaRueDeeko]

Can anyone see what pistol he's using?

It's been too long since I've seen the movie to remember.

[deussolinvictus]

H&K USP .45 compact. I had the .40 model and it was a great shooting gun, just a bit on the heavy side for daily carry.

[LaRueDeeko]

Ah yes, I had a var 1 USPc .45. Sold it in favor of a slimmer pistol with more rounds.

I'd get another USP if I could find one with a stainless slide, since they aren't imported anymore.

Thank You

[AndrewFisher16]

It's actually a full-sized USP in 9mm. If you count the shots, he fires way to many shots for the .45 version.

[LaRueDeeko]

Really?

He fires five rounds...does a reload...and then fires three rounds.

Don't think that determines much

[AndrewFisher16]

This video cuts the scene too much. Vincent already fired ten or eleven rounds in the firefight without reloading before this video begins. When this video cuts into it, he's already killed five people in that fight, if I recall correctly.

[vr4evo]

its hollywood he fires too many for even a 9mm, he totals 15 to 16 in that scene

[LaRueDeeko]

That H&K in 9mm can hold a maximum of 16 rounds... 19 with the white magazines.

[vr4evo]

didnt know that,

[AndrewFisher16]

Like he said. You fail.

[vr4evo]

shut up pussy you know nothing but to stand behind knowledgeable people lol you're an idiot.

[AndrewFisher16]

Stop sounding like a fucking idiot, Vr4evo. A: The 9mm USP holds enough ammo for his shooting in this scene to be realistic.

B: Don't fucking tell me that I'm have nothing to stand with concerning weapons and gear. I have an excellent amount of both knowledge and experience dealing with handguns. My brother is in Marine Officer School and I even trump him in dealing with pistols.

[vr4evo]

A: fuck you PUSSY

B: Stop standing behind other knowledgeable people like a PUSSY.

C: take that 9mm and stick it up your ass hahaha ANDREWFISHER16 Ill tell you what i want bitch!!!!!

[AndrewFisher16]

@vr4evo, I'm not standing behind other people's knowledge. My 92AF pistol in 9mm holds 16 rounds if I chamber one. If I buy some factory magazines, I can up that number to 18 rounds with one chambered.

[vr4evo]

finally just be a good bitch and shut your mouth

[jammaltaz]

says the nerd that lives in mommy's basement, and is on the computer 16 hours a day? LOL

[vr4evo]

it takes one to know one i guess lol

[vr4evo]

hk usp 45acp full size

[kuribo1]

Tom was a beast in that movie and especially that scene. Great performance.

[occlicker]

yeah, its not comfortable to have a light .45.  I've shot a glock 36 and it rocked my world. lol

[occlicker]

I stand corrected...I forgot about the ginormous HK that weighs just as much as a 1911. lol

[mblackestheartm]

Mozambiqued!!!

Its my favorite drill :)

[Marty32]

mine too =)

[LJamesCII]

It should be noted that the idea of the Mozambique Drill is not entirely for speed. The pause here by Vincent before the 3rd shot is adequate.

In situation, the first two shots are to be done quickly, with a pause necessary before the 3rd shot. The 3rd shot is to be executed IF the 1st two do not incapacitate your target. 90+% of the time, the 3rd shot is not required in action.

[BazzTheBoss]

you don't want to shoot the 3rd shot if the pereson is incapacitated. that kills. and that's probably not good in self-defense

[ICARUSSPLAT]

@LJamesCII So then it just becomes a double tap, right?

[DaDudeson]

Is it actually possible to double tap such tight groups in so little time with a .45?

I sure as hell can´t get anywhere near it with my .45 Glock 21 (though I don´t regret not having bought the compensated version).

After I get my 9mm Sig Sauer P226 I´d like a USP some time. Just can´t decide between .45 and 9mm yet. my friends USP tactical.45 is great!

i also like the USP Compact but it just doesn´t seem right in my hands. it´s too high. i prefer the glocks low profile barrel of the g19.

[haus340]

Really? I love the way a USP .45 Compact sits in my hands. Don't get me wrong I'm a glock guy, but man I can put .45 doubles a couple millimeters apart at 7 yrds with the H&K.

Oh and as for your 9mm or .45 dilema, go .40s&w =]

[hschan4]

Do you like to stroke it sometimes too? When your in bed?

[gussy667]

What my cat? Yeah though this one time she got really pissed and hissed at me.

No felix cat food for her....

[hotsauce45acp]

It is possible but you have to practice it a lot. A steel framed gun is better for this drill IMO.

[RichardArit]

oo kupal.

[occlicker]

you can do tight groups with a .45 but maybe not a glock without years of practice cause it is so lite. with a 1911 (i don't like 1911's) you could on the first few outings cause it is so heavy. a glock 19 has more recoil that a 5" 1911, just my experience.

[Marty32]

I've seen guys double-tap with .45s last time

[UncannyRicardo]

Oh and u dont have to hit between the mustache and eyebrow. According to Jeff Cooper (the creator of the drill), he said your suppose to get a head shot, preferably by destroying the brain with a shot to the forehead. Which is exactly what Vincent dead.

P.S. maybe the reason why Vincent took his time on the final shot was because there were innocent people in the background, and through the film Vincent wanted to avoid any collateral damage.

[UncannyRicardo]

Also maybe the reason the gun doesnt have a lot of recoil is because its a USP. One of the most important reasons why the USP is so good is because of its recoil reduction system.

[UncannyRicardo]

Oh and vincent kicks ass in this film.

[UncannyRicardo]

Dude Tom shot 6 well placed rounds of .45 acp in around 2 seconds. Thats fast.

P.S. the gun did have live rounds. Just check on the commentary, Tom had never trained with live rounds before Collateral.

[CommendatoreAndolini]

Wow, technically that's THREE to the chest and one to the head. Tom's very slow compared to that Jim Zubiena guy Michael Mann had in that episode of Miami Vice, although for good reason.

[Liist]

Notice how he hit the fat guy in the forehead, not in the cranio-ocular cavity. What you're supposed to do is hit between the mustache and eyebrows. You usually see in the movies the guy getting hit right between the eyes.

[Franschief]

I agree with the guy above. Jeff Cooper never specified a specific place to hit in the head, excep that it needed to destroy the brain mass.

[Cuning66]

I know hehehe.

[Intersonus903]

The thing that has to be understood is that handgun ammunition has insufficient ballistics, even with many large calibers, to cause instant incapacitation unless your shots inflict damage to the nervous system of the target. A shot to the heart, for instance, still allows 10-15 seconds of consciousness, which is plenty of time for the target to retaliate against you until he falls dead.

The Mozambique Drill was devised specifically for this reason.

[LeaveItToBeaner]

@Intersonus903 yess lessons learned during the Rhodesian war hence the name mozambique drill. :-) my only criticism is that on his reload he moves to a high crouch and drops the weapon out of his line of sight and looks down, slightly taking away from his situational awareness. but other than that he was on the money. the way i was taught was to keep the gun in my "workspace" which is right up in your field of vision so you can keep your eyes on the threat and your weapon on a reload

[Hutaree2010]

@Intersonus903 especially when shooting a shubby azn

[kaskito]

@Intersonus903 Depending on the organs hit and the caliber/type of ammunition you are using. Nevertheless, I dont think hitting in the heart a guy with a 9mm or a .45 straight in the heart would allow him to retaliate. He might have a few seconds of consciousness while he drops to the flor with massive heart failure and bleeding, but I doubt he can shoot back. Hitting any other organ or non-direct hits on other organs are other story, as happened to Coopers student.

[markquimby82]

@kaskito I've seen a guy take 6 shots from a Beretta 9mm (one to the heart) and still squeeze off a shot as he fell. I'm not saying that happens regularly, but neither does defending yourself with a weapon. I'd go for a head shot if given the opportunity. As over played as the mozambique drill is, it's still the best option to quickly eliminate a threat at close range with a handgun. When its your life or his, never give the benefit of the doubt. If the situation is bad enough to shoot then kill

[kaskito]

@markquimby82 Well I wont argue with that; doubt in that sort of situation is not resolved by asking, but by that same headshot. I know what you mean, its not the rule of thumb but it does happen (as you said). That why good ol' cooper left us this nifty little drill!

[mrkeogh]

I love the puffy blood clouds too. You dont often see that done properly in Hollywood. Its like the 'red (or gray if your scope has a small objective lol) mist' when you go hunting...yuk but realistic

[Cuning66]

Yeah thats pretty accurate. But if you look close its mainly just gray. What about that?

[VincentReaper]

The Mozambique Drill was added to the modern technique of gunfighting by Jeff Cooper based on the experience of one of his students, Mike Rouseau, while on duty in Mozambique. Rouseau was later killed in action in the Rhodesian War.

[gabrielnyc]

James Bond uses that technique in the novels too

[thatsimonguy]

double-tap to the chest (COM), 1 in the head.. sweet

[FeliksCalavera]

Notice the reload time too, where was that fat ass gonna go in those two seconds.

[Memnoch99]

Notice that he ran out of ammunition after the shot to the targets chest, he's a skilled hitman so he knew what he was doing. I presume he wished to prevent the target having an opportunity to escape thus he used what he knew would be a temporary incapacitating shot(i.e his last bullet of that clip), before he could finish him with a double-tap and final headshot. He also does a double-tap against the two criminals who steal his briefcase when he'd left Max in the cab.

[DomingoHMaCoolstein]

If he was a proffessional assassin, he probably be able to tell how many rounds he had the mag based on the wheight. I don't like Vincent, but he's very good at what he does.

[alfafilms]

Sure, he did. I guess this is a Mozambique Drill variation

[DomingoHMaCoolstein]

Why is that called the Mozambique Drill?

[Creoleatheart]

It was developed using obversations made by someone who made a tour of duty in Mozambique.

[DomingoHMaCoolstein]

With the SAS?

[Creoleatheart]

I believe it was developed by Jeff Cooper, a famous shooter, based on a story which a friend had told him after a close encounter during a shootout at an airport in Mozambique, where his friend shot an enemy twice, and he still stood, so he tried to shoot a headshot and missed (the bullet severed the spine instead, still killed him). Cooper then devised the Mozambique Drill based on this close escape.

[DomingoHMaCoolstein]

It's jsut that the guys who trained Tom Cruise were ex-SAS. Andy MacNab was one of them, he wrote a book about his experiance gulf war, and mentioned the Mozambique Drill.

[Creoleatheart]

Its also worth noting that a Mozambique Drill isnt 2 shots to the chest, 1 to the head. The point of it is that you can quickly fire 2, then you see what happens. If the enemy is still standing, you should again to the chest. You go for the head shot if the enemy collapses.

[DomingoHMaCoolstein]

Yeah I know.

[LeaveItToBeaner]

no, its 2 to the chest, and if he doesnt drop, its one to the vermilion line. which is the area between the gums and the brow line on his head, a shot there will shatter the brain stem so any spastic movements that would be made from a normal gunshot from say 2 to the chest like squeezing a trigger down for dear life, will not happen, seeing as your brain cannot communicate with you central nervous system.

[MadMarSkee]

he fired 3 into the chest instead of 2
