Click here for a WW II US Army film clip showing Point Shooting in MOV format.
The film clip showing six shots fired rapidly as three double taps. The shooter is Point Shooting. Tracer rounds were used. The files are big, so please give them time to load.
The still photos below capture the tracer tracks which show the target hits as they were made. They also confirm that Point Shooting is being used.
Photos 1, 3, 4, and 6 show good hits. Photos 2 and 5 show questionable hits.
Recently, comments have been made by some Point Shooters that P&S is not "true" Point Shooting, or they have said words to that affect.
Well, it looks to me that given pics 2 and 5, a little enhancement to "true" Point Shooting is in order.
And P&S could be the ticket to that enhancement/improvement.
P&S utilzes mostly gross motor skills which are said to improve in effectiveness in high stress situations. It employs our natural and instinctive abilities to help one get on target fast and automatically and for each shot taken. It does not require cognitive/thinking directed actions, which better leaves the mind free to make shoot no shoot decisions.
If you listen carefully to the film voice-over during the last shooting sequence, you will hear: "When a moments delay may cost a life, combat firing trains men to fire instinctively from the standing position, pointing the gun as if it were a finger."
Sounds like a good plan to me, actually sounds like a commercial for P&S.
Here is a link to my slug slow and dull videos by comparison.
