Bin Laden was hit with a double tap. I wondered what gun would have had a two round burst

A 'double tap' is two separate shots. One to the chest and one to the head, in that order. The reason for this is the cheat shot is to at minimum stun the target. The second is to ensure the target is dead.

A double tap is 2 quick rounds to the head or the chest, not one to each.
