As you might suspect when conducting unknown entries the first officer shot faster, and made more hits, but recall that they are also at higher risk of being shot. In the unknown entry method the first officer made less hits and was slower to fire, but was less likely to be hit as the second officer made hits on the suspect.
The first and second officers have a higher chance of being hit, with the same chance of making shots on the suspect at around the same speed. This leaves us with the unknown room entry and the hybrid.
These seem like the only viable option with the hybrid coming out slightly ahead in this case. While the researchers are careful to point out that they cannot statistically say which one is better out of these types, it seems like the hybrid is probably the best method. Both officers can shoot the suspect in a blind corner quickly and there is still lateral movement of the first officer to make him more difficult to shoot.
The first thing that should scream out to you is that making entry on an armed subject is the last thing you want to do. Regardless of your entry style you are probably going to be shot. The researchers did a few other experiments in the book that discuss slicing the pie vs. The second thing I think we need to keep in mind is that in the real world just hitting a subject, even center of mass, will not reliably incapacitate them immediately. Greg Ellifritz over at Active Response Training found that on average with centerfire rifle cartridges it took 1.
So we will need to temper the results of these studies and realize that any room entry from a position that the suspect knows you must come from is extremely hazardous regardless of training or tactics. There are other methods we could test, namely noise flash diversion devices, or flash bangs, as well as other methods of locating the suspect such as turkey peaking. I would love to see some further research using some of these common tools to determine what the empirical effects are on safety.
If you want to learn more about the hybrid method head over to Combat Shooting and Tactics and give that article a read. If you have specific questions for the researchers you can email Hunter Martaindale here. Any link to Amazon. Feel free to shop around and support Tier Three Tactical at the same time! It would be interesting. Just watched a video about that method and honestly that looks very similar to the vast majority of CQB where you pie the room before making entry.
They actually did do that study in the book. It turns out shooting into the room and not entering it and shooting at the same time was much safer.
Jake, Thanks for the feedback. I am in the process of getting the book, but from reading chapter abstracts I got a good overview.
I have not found much discussion or critical review outside of your article. It must also be kept in mind that the Israeli technique was developed for dealing with terrorists, not crashing doors to serve warrants or other high threat incidents. From my present understanding from the book, the slice technique alone did not allow for accessing the blind corner.
Therefore, some type of dump technique must be deployed to deal with whatever is in that blind spot, along with all the well-known hazards. The Israeli method allows the slicer to actually see what is in that blind corner and engage as necessary. Dumping into a room to engage a blind corner is not part of this technique.
Nothing enters the room except the barrel of your weapon and projectiles until threats are cleared. Whether a single operator or multiples, the same basic technique is used: slice and engage behind cover of the opening, rapid corner check with quick engagement as necessary before entering into the room.
Yeah it seems pretty interesting. I think what you are referring to is a turkey peak in non Israeli parlance. I think this Israeli method is probably pretty good, and really I see a lot more commonalities than differences. So at some point you will be going into an area that may or may not be hot. You might also check out a company called Strategos. They teach a low light search technique that is pretty similar, and very good imo.

Unknown Room Entry Supporters of the known entry method argue that the first officer moving along the known wall causes the bad guy to track and shoot at him, effectively giving him a moving target to shoot at which is much harder to hit than if the officer is walking right towards him. It is written solely to introduce the concept of tactical movement to those with little experience or knowledge in this area.

Keeping this in mind, know then, there are no fail safe entries. Every entry by units has pros and cons and there are far too many elements to list here. Trying to list every element would only cause more confusion. Practicing a technique will elicit the reasons why. How many men should stand in a stack, what kind of weapons does each man utilize shotgun, pistol, rifle , where does each person stand in the stack, etc. Take what works for your team. The Modified room-entry technique is a combination of the crisscross and buttonhook entry techniques.
Upon stacking to one side of the entry-point, the first operator 1 enters the portal and takes postion within the room and faces opposite the position he originally faced. The second operator 2 crosses the entry-point, into the portal and stands within the room, away from the fatal funnel, without changing his facing direction. The operators can change the order of who enters first and what direction they go; first operator is never wrong, and second operator takes the opposite side.
