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

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

        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.

            Collateral is one of my favorite movies of all time!

            Edit: there’s a puscifer song that references the Mozambique drill. “Conditions of my parole” it’s a great song on its own, but it’s a good story within a song.
