Self Defense Against Multiple Opponents

Last month, a man in Houston, Texas successfully fought off FIVE armed intruders with an AK-47.  He shot all five of the attackers, killing three of them and emerged uninjured.  He won the gunfight big-time!  

How many times have we heard from the anti-gun crowd that "no one needs more than ten rounds to defend themselves" or "no one should have a military style rifle"?   This is a great example of a time when a high capacity magazine and semi-automatic rifle were needed.  You are never going to wish you had less ammo in a gunfight.  I realize, this situation is not the norm but I'm pretty sure this man was glad he was prepared!  ​

This got me thinking about training for multiple opponents, which is not something I normally do.  After a little web research, I decided to try the El Presidente drill to test my skills.  This drill requires the shooter to stand hands raised with his back to three bad guy targets.  At the start signal, the shooter will then turn around, draw his gun, shoot each bad guy twice, reload and then shoot each target two more times.  The par time for this drill is ten seconds!  

I tried it three times and only once was under ten seconds.  Each time, I hit 10 or 11 of the shots into the bad guys' thoracic cavity (heart and lungs).   I look forward to improving my times and accuracy as I add this drill to my practice.  A couple of my initial runs are shown in the video below.
