The single bullet theory defined

Single bullet theory: sin·gle bul·let the·o·ry /ˈsɪŋgəl/ˈbʊlɪt/theer-ee/: 1: A selective method of firing using one bullet per target, i.e. killshots only 2: Military sniper slogan, 'One shot, one kill' circa WWI 3: The preferred method of zombie dispatching, anything more than this is considered wasteful and deemed hazardous to survival in an undead world.

"So much for the single bullet theory..." - The Crow graphic novel

That was the first place I heard the words single bullet theory and automatically my brain went to the motto of one shot one kill and from that, naturally, it went to zombies. Too often I've seen people empty entire magazines either in panic or an attempted scythe maneuver and die screaming as soon as the last round is expended. I've seen one man go further counting the shots on his Colt Python magnum revolver than another going fully automatic with his rifle. If you must fire more than one round at a time the best piece of advice comes from an old space marine, Remember, short controlled bursts. 
Control is key when firing, don't panic!
