to zipper

[Theseus]

A technical term for firing a bullet that goes in fast and nasty. Origin: it rips up the body of a man like a zip opening. Context American police drama NCIS.

--Mc: Well, maybe it wasn’t overkill. Based on the grouping & the volume, my guess is he zippered him.
--C: Zippered? What, is that what it sounds like?
--Mc: If a weapon’s cyclic rate is fast enough & the ammo’s nasty enough, you can actually rip right through a man. Open him up like a zipper. But why halve a man after the fact? :down:

A technical term for firing a bullet that goes in fast and nasty.

Of course the term refers to shooting more than one bullets (hence "cyclic rate" in your example), so the good doctor's translation is quite accurate
