So in that awesome scene in Collateral where Tom Cruise's character is confronted by two assailants, the first of whom (or both?? ) point a gun at him, he does the following very quickly (after a blocking move to push the gun-toting assailant's arm up and away), in this order:
1a. Two to chest of Assailant #1
2a. Two to chest of Assailant #2
2b. One to head of Assailant #2 (steps 2a and 2b constituting a standard 'Zique')
1b. THEN, he goes back and gives one to the head, to be sure, to Assailant #1, to finish the Zique on him (hence the "Delayed Mozambique" name I've given to it)
Questions:
1. In the event that this had been 3 or 4 or more assailants, would /should the pattern still be the same, i.e. using 4 assailants as examples: Two-chest, two-chest, two-chest, two-chest-one-head - then back to #1-#3 - one-head, one-head, one-head? If the answer is yes, then what order do you go back and do the three 'one-heads' in? #3 guy second, then #2 guy, then #1 guy (reverse order), or go back and do 1, 2, then 3 ('replay order')? If the answer is no, then how should it vary, exactly, in your opinion?
2. Is this "technique" a standard one taught in handgun schools, or something Michael Mann dreamed up? If the former, does it have a name/description?
Thanks.
