As far as I can tell, this hasn't been discussed yet:
On April 6, 2007, Navy SEAL Sr. Chief Mike Day entered a house in Iraq’s Anbar Province searching for a HVT. Four al Qaeda bad guys were in the room and opened fire on him immediately. He was hit 27 times.
His M4 rifle was shot out of his hands and his body armor, rated to absorb a single shot, absorbed 11. He was hit 16 additional times throughout both arms, both legs, abdomen and his groin by a combination of 7.62x39 and 5.56 (presumably captured). He also took grenade shrapnel.
Chief Day transitioned to his sidearm (SIG P226 9mm) and took out all 4 bad guys.
This is was inside of 10 feet and only a few seconds. You can Google SEAL Mike Day if you would like additional info.
What can we all learn from this gunfight? What is applicable to us?
