If you (and cops) shoot to stop and not to kill, why are center mass shots the norm and not headshots? Isn't a headshot the quickest way to put the lights out, where a center mass shot may eventually kill them but isn't as effective as stopping them in the moment?

Try to headshot a target seven yards away. Now try to headshot a target seven yards away while the target is moving. Now make that movement unpredictable. Now make that target a threat to you, adding stress. Hitting a small target gets more difficult now, doesn't it?

Why they don't full auto in the head direction ?
>>
>>33919679
Because getting a headshot on a moving target while your adrenaline is going into maximum overdrive mode is really hard.
It's the same shit as "why didn't they just shoot him in the knee!?"

>target seven yards away

Most self defense shootings happen inside of 3 meters, don't they? I'm not saying it isn't a more difficult shot, but what is more likely to neutralize a threat?
>>
>>33919724
because other people could be around and it wastes a shit ton of ammo, you fucking retard.

Collateral damage

A bullet that actually hits them somewhere instead of misses completely.

The way it was suggested to train was to go two to the chest and then try and attempt a headshot.

The thinking is that of course you won't hit him in the head but you are more likely to place all three to center mass if you have to readjust your shots.

>why do people aim at a target that is 4x bigger than the head? I don't get it
You're retarded.

>>33919743
collateral damage is something you try to prevent, tard.

>shoot to stop
>aim at a place that isn't likely to stop and is more likely to kill them hours later in the hospital
>an instant incapacitating shot is too hard
Just admit you are terrible shots
>>
>>33919793
They can just dodge or be luckyer

a shot to the lung is an instant incapacitating shot too.
nice b8

>>33919804
Gee how the fuck does anyone even die in war if they aren't shot in the head?
