An amateur only shoots once. A professional always shoots twice. A subtrope of both Boom, Headshot! and Attack on the Heart, this is usually the difference between a sniper and a more up close and personal silenced pistol assassin. Better safe than sorry, after all. The Double Tap seems like overkill, but in both real life and in fiction it is an example of pragmatism. It's rare that the target survives a shot to the heart or brain, but it happens, and there's nothing like someone surviving their attempted killing to ruin your carefully laid plans. Similarly, there have been occasions where despite shots to the chest or head, people have continued to be coherent and capable of retaliation for some time thereafter. Some training methods insist on at least two shots to the torso and one to the head, a technique known as the Mozambique Drill. Being shot in any vital organ is bad but being shot twice in one is worse. Two to the head tend to be just as effective... Usually.note Studies have shown that (statistically speaking) getting shot in the head is fatal 90% of the time, meaning that any headshot victim has an approximately 1-in-10 Chance of Survival. However, that’s from One Bullet; surviving a second is another 1-in-10 chance, which means the victim has 1% Chance at most of surviving two headshots. And those odds are from Handgun Cartridges; Rifle bullets are much more powerful & lethal and the chance of surviving a headshot from one, much less multiple, is even lower if not zero. Usually shown as a portrayal of a professional making sure the target is dead or will be in short order. Expect at least two shots to the head or chest from said professional. Thorough professionals may be depicted putting two in both the head or chest. (In case of film or TV, the target may vary depending on the rating of the show in question as naturally a headshot will be far more gory than a torso shot; if someone is double-tapped in the head, it's usually shown from a distance or not actually shown on screen at all.) Sometimes used to show a tough enemy or monster really is dead by shooting them twice in the head or chest to make sure they stay dead. Anyone worth shooting once is worth shooting at least twice. Compare Multiple Gunshot Death. Contrast Once is Not Enough. Compare and contrast Coup de Grâce and Kick Them While They Are Down, which is similar in confirming a kill but usually is seen as having more negative connotations. Naturally, this trope is what happens when Instant Death Bullets are not a thing. Examples |

In The Killer Ascendant, a former Federal Air Marshall shoots John Rain twice in the chest, but the rounds are stopped by his Bulletproof Vest. Fans of the series who were Federal Air Marshalls informed the author Barry Eisler that this trope was incorrect, as procedure was to keep firing until the target was no longer a threat. | |

Honorverse It's not called the Mozambique Drill, but Victor Cachat favors two rounds center-of-mass and a third aimed round to the head. If Thandi Palane is an accurate representation, the Solarian Marines teach the double tap. During the Mugging the Monster incident in Cauldron of Ghosts, her "always double tap" conditioning is strong enough that she ends up blowing limbs off the people she's been ordered to capture alive. |

In Borderlands' fourth DLC, the Claptrap Ninja Assassin does this to the arms merchant just before the final boss battle. Also, the Jakob's brand of weapons (which have the highest damage) uses the lack of this as their selling point; "If it took more than one shot, you weren't using a Jakobs". In Borderlands 2, Zer0's "Tw0 Fang" skill gives them a chance to fire two shots with a single trigger pull. |

Another Clancy work, Rainbow Six has this when Tim Noonan finds himself in the middle of a huge gun battle in downtown Hereford between the Provisional Irish Republican Army and the Rainbow unit. Noonan, armed only with a Beretta .45, climbs into a truck with three PIRA terrorists shooting down the street, kills two of them with headshots before they can notice him, and puts two to the chest, one in the head of the third man. Not bad for an FBI tech guy. | |

The Godfather: Vito's would-be assassins shoot him five times. When Michael goes to kill Solozzo and his bodyguard McCluskey at a meeting, Sonny instructs him "Two shots in the head apiece." In the infamous baptism scene, most of the assassins put more than one bullet into each of Michael’s enemies as he becomes the godfather. In The Godfather Part III, Vincent shoots Joey Zasa twice, then aims carefully and fires a third shot to finish him off. |

The protagonist of Fallout: New Vegas gets double-tapped at the beginning of the game — and survives. Follows-Chalk shot a White Leg in the head twice after bludgeoning him with his club the first time you meet him. Apparently, Joshua Graham has trained the Dead Horses tribals to do this, as can be seen in the final battle. The Ghost People in the Dead Money DLC require this treatment, due to their unique ability to continuously come back to life unless they've lost a body part. |

Discussed in the Spenser novel Thin Air. Spenser's Friend on the Force Frank Belson has been shot, and Spenser's talking with Belson's boss, Lt. Quirk. The discussion basically notes that he was hit several times in the back, and while an amateur wouldn't have hit all his shots, a pro would have made sure he was dead, implying this trope (we never see exactly what happens, but the consensus is that while the shooter wasn't an amateur, he was nervous, and was certainly in a neighborhood where gunshots aren't normal, and so left after firing). | |

Fallout 4: Members of the Brotherhood of Steel will sometimes advise the player character "If it looks dead, put one more bullet into it, just to be sure." or "Two in the head keeps it dead." Also, it is very possible to double-tap, or even Mozambique someone using VATS. This is encouraged with Feral Ghouls, whose corpses can be found in many areas. Not all of these Ghouls are actually dead and some will stand up and attack you when you get too close. Putting a bullet into a prone Ghoul's head will either confirm it is dead, or (probably) kill it before it can ambush you. Fortunately, your VATS system will highlight Ghouls that are lying in ambush, as it won't lock on to genuinely-dead bodies. |

Mass Effect: If Wrex dies on Virmire, his killer (either Shepard or Ashley) will shoot him three times when he's already on the ground. This is a pretty good practice with krogan enemies in regular gameplay, too; if you don't see the XP payout, they're still coming. At the end, Shepard tells his / her companions to check if Saren is really, absolutely dead after he has already either shot himself in his last lucid moment or been impaled through the chest. One of them will give the body another shot to the head. But anyone being slightly Genre Savvy knows right away that if the developers added that scene, the body will get up again. |

Zombieland has this as Rule #2 for surviving the Zombie Apocalypse. Despite the zombies in the movie being of the Technically Living variety, the characters frequently make sure to Remove The Head Or Destroy The Brain. This is seen performed with guns, giant mallets, and even a car at one point. Zombieland: Double Tap has a scene where the characters encounter a more powerful variant of zombie called the T-800, which is much harder to kill. This leads to a gag where it is repeatedly shot in the head as the Double Tap notice changes to "Triple Tap", "Quadruple Tap", and eventually goes all the way up to "Whatever the nine uple word is Tap" (for those wondering, it's nonuple). | |

A Sniper with the "Croc-O-Style" item set in Team Fortress 2, before item set benefits were patched out, would not be killed by headshots and thus would require a double-tap to kill. A Spy wielding the Ambassador can kill weaker classes in as few as 2 shots. Most weapons in general take at least two shots to kill any class at (standard) full health: point-blank the Rocket Launcher, Scattergun, and the Grenade Launcher all do just under 125 damage (health of the Scout, Sniper, Engineer, and Spy) in one hit. |

As part of Resident Evil 4 (Remake)'s more serious approach to the story (as opposed to the Affectionate Parody tone the original Resident Evil 4 had), Leon has a habit of doing this in cutscenes as soon as he's confronted with the bad guys. The most notable instance is when he confronts Salazar at the end of the castle segment and promptly performs a Mozambique Drill on him before he can even finish talking. In the Separate Ways DLC campaign, after Ada kills El Gigante in the end of Chapter 3, she struts up to the giant's corpse, which still has its Plagas parasite squirming, coolly impales the disgusting creature with her stiletto heel, and puts another 3 bullets into the abomination to finish it off. |

In The Wire, this tends to be the preferred method for the enforcers of the notorious Stanfield drug empire. Chris Partlow tends to execute with two shots to the head, and new soldiers are trained to either shoot for the head if they're at point-blank range, or to disable by shooting under a potential Bulletproof Vest and then finish with a headshot. That said, they're sometimes sloppy about actually following this. | |

Not usually present in City Hunter due a combination of the protagonists usually trying to take their enemies alive, not having the time, and having an almost uncanny ability to kill with one shot (it helps they normally use .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum guns), but when Ryo teaches Kaori how to shoot, the first thing he demonstrates is the Mozambique Drill (see Real Life below). With a .357 Magnum. Used liberally in the first Union Teope arc, in which the enemy had the habit of dosing Mooks with a drug that made them insensible to pain and capable of coming at you until they bled out or hit them in the head. |

GURPS Tactical Shooting, a supplement all about realistic game treatment of firearms use, naturally has notes on double-tapping, and for that matter has specific rules for the Mozambique Drill, at various levels of realism. | |

Pan's Labyrinth: Whenever a battle is won, the winning side always takes the time to shoot the fallen enemies in the head, be they rebels or fascists. Vidal even has a moment where he points his gun at a soldier who's been shot in the trachea and he can only weakly bat away his gun, Vidal resets the position and it happens back and forth until he executes him. | |

Firefly: At the end of the pilot episode, Mal shoots Lawrence Dobson in the eye and leaves him behind on Whitefall. Dobson miraculously survives (minus an eye) and, in the sequel comics, returns to take revenge on the crew... only for Mal to shoot him in the head again, then shoot his corpse once more to make sure he stays dead this time. He does. | |

In Nuclear Throne, Y.V.'s active ability "Pop Pop" is a variant of this. Being the God of Guns, he can fire two shots from his weapons at once, at an equivalent ammo cost and a doubled reload time. His Throne Butt upgrades Pop Pop to "Brrrap", letting him fire four shots at once with triple the reload time. His Back 2 Bizniz ultra mutation adds one additional projectile to Pop Pop or two additional projectiles to Brrrap, none of which cost extra ammo. | |

In Revenge (2011), this is used by Takeda to execute a wounded Tyler on the beach. Also used by Daniel, who shoots Emily twice in the stomach and lets her fall overboard during her honeymoon cruise. | |

Kiriyama does this at times during Battle Royale. No matter where he shot you, one shot in the head extra won't harm you. Later chapters subvert this, as he tends to kill people with one shot to the head. | |

In Artemis Fowl, Butler's preferred technique is a quintuple tap: two to the chest, three between the eyes. | |

In the prologue of Gunpoint, an assassin shoots your contact, then shoots her body on the ground again to make sure. Considering the first shot caused her to fall through the window on the top floor of an office building, the second bullet was probably not necessary. | |

In Psycho-Pass 3 Episode 7, Maya Ignatova proves to be not such a helpless invalid after all, when she takes advantage of Torii Aschenbach's ranting at her husband Mikhail to disarm Torii of his pistol and promptly performs a textbook perfect Mozambique Drill on him. | |
