AFAIK it's from special forces/hostage rescue "manuals". It's the
process of getting of two quick shots in succession (before recoil
hits and short of a burst) in order to make sure you drop a target.
One bullet could be a victim of chance, rebounding from a bone or some
other hard object. Two bullets are very likely to find something soft
to give way...

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six tells of this a lot (but the book as a whole
is not as good as his previous works).

Mit freundlichen Gruessen,
