“That’s why 2 to the center of the chest failing to stop the fight should be followed by a third to the center of brain box”
If you have brainbox ability in a fight then the first shot should be to the ‘puter. Why wait? End that fight right now. Don’t go for 2+1 if you don’t need to. Obviously a wildly moving target or a distance shot says otherwise, but if up close and stable enough, take the head shot every time. Practice it. It really isn’t that difficult once you get a little practice hitting a 4” target. You’ll probably find you can do it out to 50 feet reliably, circumstances depending of course.
I agree with you, and routinely practice snap shots to the brainbox...If killing your attacker is all you’re after...
But we carry and train to defend ourselves and stop the attacker...A controlled pair to the larger target of the human thoracic cavity MAY stop the attack (which is your desired outcome...Not to KILL the attacker...But defend yourself, save your own life, and to stop the attack)...Your attacker may or may not survive two body shots...If the controlled pair fail to stop, and the attack on your life continues, then a cranial shot is your remaining option...
Probably easier for your defense counsel to make your case for self defense to a jury (test of reasonableness) if you’re trying to stop than immediately kill...Prosecutors (aka Progressive Politicians With Further Political Aspirations) may/likely try to make a first shot to the brain into an execution...
In the end, you must do what you must do to survive...Inevitably, if you’ve made the first shot to the brain box, be prepared to answer the allegations you’ve “executed” your attacker...See question: “Why didn’t you shoot him in the leg?”
My suggestions were made with a civilian on-the-street self-defense situation in mind rather than against an enemy combatant adversary...
No right or wrong necessarily...Just my humble opinion...Whatever you’ve done to save your own life, be prepared to defend your actions in a criminal trial...Or civil case where the burden of proof is even less...
Good luck out there...
