An extra shot to the body never hurts.  

Jokes aside; this was very common in early wars.  After the battle; the winning side would stab or shoot enemy corpses to make sure no enemies could escape or sneak attack

Actually used all the way through desert storm.  “Double tapping” or “dead checking” has remained used by all sides of ww2 armies and in all battles before
