OK... so this will be the newest thing on Facebook after this Blog post gets around. So make sure you send this around and re-post it you faithful Blog readers/followers.
Now a double tap is a shooting technique where two well-aimed shots are fired at the same target with very little time in between shots. The term "double tap" is now used for more then just to describe the broader technique of firing two rounds quickly and accurately with a firearm. Its now used to accurately disable an opponent with verbiage in two quick doses.
The origin of the double tap technique is credited to William Ewart Fairbairn (try saying that ten times fast) and Eric Anthony Sykes. They were British police chiefs in Shanghai during the 1930s. The Double Tap was developed to combat the downside of using the new Full Metal Jacket ammunition. FMJ ammunition became commonly used by the military for feeding reliability as well as for adherence to the Hague Convention regarding non-expanding ammunition, and improved penetration. FMJ rounds can fail to cause sufficient damage, requiring more hits and better shot placement. Fairbairn is reported to have instructed personnel in the double tap from 1944 to 1945 and at the British Special Ops training school directed by Fairbairn and Sykes near Arisaig in Scotland. The tactic is still used today by firearms handlers, police tactical teams, military personnel, counter-terrorist combat units, and other special forces personnel.
In the live ammunition double-tap technique, after the first round is fired, the shooter quickly reacquires the sights for a fast second shot. This skill can be practiced by firing two shots at a time, taking time between the shots to reacquire the sights. With practice, the time between shots grows shorter and shorter until it seems to the observer as if the shooter is just pulling the trigger twice very quickly. Now the point of the double tap is to disable and then permanently dispose of the target. So when using a gun one should put a bullet in the chest and then a bullet in a vital area... as in the forehead.
In the same sense, when one is about to double tap an opponent via Facebook, you should put one comment in their proverbial torso and one in their proverbial forehead. It could be a straight up insult followed by a better insult, or it could be sarcasm followed by an insult, or it could even be sincerity followed by satirical caustic or even cutting ironic comments. Here are a few examples I have prepared for the enjoyment of my readers.
(Double Tap Part 1) “Hey Joe, Great to see you the other day!”
(Double Tap Part 2) “Actually you suck.”
Now this is the “Childlike Double Tap”, this is like shooting a man in the foot and then in the privates...
(Double Tap Part 1) “This picture makes you look fat...LOL”
(Double Tap Part 2) “Actually this picture makes you look bulimic, LOL”
This is what I like to call the “Petty Mean High School Girl But Yet Still Funny Double Tap”. Its like shooting someone in the love handles and then the heart, effective and funny...
(Double Tap Part 1) “Haha your nose is huge”
(Double Tap Part 2) “No really Reiner your nose is huge”
This is what I like to call the “College Buddy Double Tap”. Its as effective as a special ops live ammo double tap: one in the chest, and one in the head.
Anyways this is the newest and bestest thing on the web. Let the proverbial Double Tap fire away, its time to assault our good friends with military precision-like verbiage that puts friends in a place wondering if they are still on good terms.
(Double Tap Part 1) “I'm smarter then you...”
(Double Tap Part 2) “No really I am...”
