Two in the chest,two to the head ,two more to the chest. Least wise that ‘s what I was taught.

Almost all bullets fired in anger are misses.

SOP is a double tap to center body mass. It is what the pro’s are trained to do.

if you're in a gunfight, chances are you under duress and your adrenaline is thru the roof. so aiming is much different than it is at the range.

so you want to aim for the largest part of your foe in order to maximize your chances of hitting him. that means center mass. heads are small.

Trying to hit a smaller target usually isn't advisable, particulary in a gun fight. Also bullets can ricochet off the cranium. Better to shoot at something one has a greater probability of hitting and eliminating the threat.
