    I’ve always thought that was from the old military expression, 2 in the chest, 1 in the head.

        Yup! They’ve kinda pulled back on it because of the heartless nature of saying it. “Double tap” also to a lesser extent. I can’t remember what the new verbage is because I’ve been out a long time now and it was just starting to change as I was getting out.

        It really wouldn’t surprise me if the shocker originated from that phrase as well. 20 years ago it was almost an unofficial salute.
