Mozambique Drill

Okay kiddo, have you ever played a game where you have a target to shoot at? Well, the Mozambique Drill is like that, but for grown-ups who need to use guns to protect themselves.

When someone is in danger and needs to defend themselves with a gun, sometimes they may need to shoot the other person more than once to stop them from hurting them. The Mozambique Drill is a way for them to do just that.

It's called the Mozambique Drill because it was first created for soldiers in the country of Mozambique. The drill goes like this:

Step 1: Aim your gun at the other person's chest and shoot once.
Step 2: If that person keeps coming toward you, aim at their head and shoot twice - this is to make sure they can't hurt you.

The Mozambique Drill is used by people who need to be sure they can stop someone who is attacking them. But remember, guns are very dangerous and should only be used in very serious situations when there is no other way to stay safe.
