Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for posting the documentary video of USMC Training "Close Quarter Tactics Shooting"
Background from apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a602052.pdf
Close quarters combat shooting is an issue of survival for both law enforcement and military communities. It is more relevant today in the military community because of the concurrent wars against irregulars in Afghanistan and Iraq, where our personnel have to go house to house searching for insurgents and weapons. The confined spaces where our troops now operate provide a special challenge that conventional firearms training may not prepare them to successfully face. Most present day law enforcement and military personnel are trained in the use of the Modern Technique/sighted
method. For decades, statistics have shown that law enforcement officers do miserably when engaged in close quarters combat shooting i.ncidents with rates of accurately hitting their adveisaries at 15% to 19%.
F.B.I statistics on police involved shootings show that most engagements occur at short distances of 0 to 10 feet and in low-Jig ht. These conditions most favor the Point Shooting method/unsighted method, which incorporates observed instinctive human reactions during close quarters combat, such as the use of a crouch and the focus on the threat. The analysis of the two shooting methods showed that in close quarters combat shooting situations, most people will instinctively use the shooting platform advocated by Point Shooting then as the distance from the adversary increases and time allows they will use of the Modem Technique. It is therefore important that we train our armed forces in the method that is most appropriate for the situations which they will most encounter, and that is Point Shooting.'
