a close quarter tactical method of killing a target with two shots to the chest and one follow up shot to the head. the technique may also be called a triple tap, or failure to stop drill. the phrase was coined by a rhodesian mercenary named Mike Rousseau while he was serving in Mozambique. Rousseau later relayed a story to a gun enthusiast and author named jeff cooper in which Rousseau was fighting in the airport in the city of Maputo. Upon rounding a corner armed only with a 9mm pistol he encountered a F.R.E.L.I.M.O. fighter armed with an AK-47 he quickly fired two shots into the torso of the target, when the target was not immediately incapacitated he fired a third round which hit the target through the neck and severed his spine.
