What is "double tap"

n. (context idiomatic English) A tactical shooting technique of pulling the trigger of a weapon twice in quick succession to deliver two shots to the same target zone.

Double Tap (槍王) is a 2000 Hong Kong action- thriller film directed by Bruce Law, and starring Leslie Cheung, Alex Fong, Monica Chan and Ruby Wong. It was hailed as one of Leslie Cheung's most memorable action films since A Better Tomorrow. A follow up film, Triple Tap, directed by Derek Yee was released in 2010 with only Alex Fong reprising his role as Inspector Miu with a new storyline and new cast consisted of Louis Koo and Daniel Wu.

A double tap is a shooting technique where two shots are fired in rapid succession at the same target with the same sight picture (different from the controlled pair, where a second sight picture is acquired for the second shot). Instruction and practice of the double-tap improves overall accuracy as shooters often do not have the gun fully extended on the first shot meaning the second of a double-tap is usually the better. The term hammer is sometimes used to describe a double tap in which the firearm's sights are not reacquired by the shooter between shots.

"Double Tap" is a single by industrial metal band Ministry. It was the second single from the album Relapse, released on February 24, 2012. The song is about " Operation Geronimo". It is fast-paced, like many other Ministry songs.
