you'll want at least a 750 fill power goose down if you want some showy results but I find a high density memory foam to provide the best silencing

don't forget to double tap and then finish with a headshot

Double tap = headshot always!

Unless u noob

R u dumb

Wrong. Double tap just refers to 2 quick successive shots from a gun. Doesn't necessarily mean it's in the head.

Only if you're a noob, bro.

I know you can do it anywhere but you should always go for the head.

One bullet doesn't always put 'em down.

Right. Let me shoot you in the chest and then once in the head, which is more the true meaning of double tap. We'll see if you survive, my bet is that you don't.

double tap means 2 shots to the heart. Then you add one 1 the head.

TridenT fail...

Mozambique Drill also known as the Failure to Stop Drill, or Failure Drill.

The Mozambique Drill, also known as the Failure to Stop Drill, or Failure Drill, is a close-quarter shooting technique in which the shooter fires twice into the torso of a target (known as a double tap to the center of mass), momentarily assesses the hits, then follows them up with a carefully aimed shot to the head of the target.

The third shot should be aimed to destroy the brain or brain stem, killing the target and preventing the target from retaliating.

i figure too high density foam will just shred from the gasses.
maybe down pillow is best.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_tap

Wikipedia puts one to the cnter of mass, one to the head. The first to immobilize the target, the second to kill. This does not correspond with Zombieland.

wikipedia is silly.

double tap just refers to 2 shots. you then use further description to refer to where they went. ie, double tap to the head, double tap to the heart.. etc.

but since the op refers to a pillow being used to silence, i would guess both shots are going into the head.

without having real world experience on the matter, i would guess that the silencing effects of pillows are rather overstated in movies.

Are you new at this? You're stuck with whatever pillow they have, you don't bring your own.

Receipts can be traced, and stores have security cameras.

Use whatever pillows your appointment has on hand. Double up, if necessary.

Purpose of the double tap is for the first aimed shot to go to the center of mass. The second shot, due to recoil, will be aimed slightly higher, closer to the head area.

:D

I like big, don't get me wrong. But at some point it gets ridiculous. I'd prefer some "smaller" titties like these:

Those aren't small. They're fucking huge and bigger relative to JLH's body than that fattie gif above.
