Still strange to me about the five to the chest and one in the head thing. Seems to me that if you have so little trust for your carbine and ammo that you would either get something you trusted or forget the chest shooting and just go straight for the head with five or ten rounds.
1K rounds a month is very sufficient IMHO. Very much common sense.

Gene,
I do not persume to speak for Paul Howe but... I recall from reading his book that he developed the 5 to the chest and 1 to the head because he had "serviced" a few BG's with 2 to the chest and they just stood there wondering what and just happened. For all intensive purposes they were most likely clinically dead but due to the "Qat" they remained standing still posing a threat. As such he came up with the failure drill of 5 to the chest and 1 to the head. I believe he mentioned something about the ammo at the time as well... something about the SS109 is pinging in my brain.
Again that is what I recall from his book.
HTH
