The Mozambique Drill, also called the Failure Drill, is a close-quarter shooting technique in which the shooter fires twice into the torso of a target - known as a "double tap" to the center of mass - momentarily assesses the hits, then follows them up with a carefully aimed shot to the head of the target.
The third shot should be aimed to destroy the brain, killing the target and preventing the target from retaliating. The drill was added to the modern technique of gunfighting by Jeff Cooper based on the experience of one of his students, Mike Rousseau, while on duty in Mozambique. Rousseau was later killed in action in the Rhodesian War.
