NMH said:p.s. I was in the Hove Sea Cadets (even THAT minor association with Navy concerns outranks all army and air-force officers).

HampshireSeagulls said:Been mentioned on here a few times. Normal policy is to put rounds into the largest area - the torso. Because of the amount of organs in this area, and the rounds that are being used, you are pretty much guaranteed a kill with a pair of rounds. If you introduce suicide bombers into the equation, it may mean that a round to the torso could set of explosives. Very few people are taught to shoot a distinct body areas, so the current policy is to make the shot to the head. However, the headshot is not a guaranteed kill, and the body motor responses may function before the brain stops working. The safest way to stop any motor function is to completely destroy brain activity as quickly as possible - this means multiple shots. Anyone that has slaughtered animals will also recognise this - a head shot to a cow does little more than stun them, which is why you then have a special tool which is used to destroy the brain, producing death. The human body is remarkably resilient, and will function when you think it should be flat on the floor!
When you have multiple officers, their sole task is to make a situation safe. They cannot rely on one officer making the required amount of killing shots, which is why multiple officers discharged weapons.
Messy, unpalatable for many, but true.
Oh great! A couple of RAF bumboys a Colour Sgt and a grunt discussing SAS opps
