This video explains the Failure Drill, a tactical shooting technique focusing on neutralizing a threat rapidly, especially when body armor is involved. It builds upon previous discussions of controlled pairs and hammered pairs. The drill involves two shots to center mass (high chest) followed by a shot to the "brain housing box" or "T-Box" (ocular and nasal cavities) for immediate incapacitation. It also discusses variations like the pelvic girdle shot for mobility impairment and briefly mentions the Zipper Drill used by SOF units. The instructor emphasizes speed and the importance of a decisive shot to turn off the threat's "light switch."
