Here is an alternate term with similar results: "shooting center mass". Center mass is the center of what you can see. If a bad guy is partially covered, you shoot at the center of the part that isn't covered. If he is totally exposed, that happens to be the middle of chest. If he is wearing a vest or on drugs, center mass becomes the center of the pelvic girdle or center of the head (whatever failure drill you chose) after you realize the initial rounds didn't work as intended.
You shoot center mass because that is where you were trained to put your rounds to avoid missing the target AND it is the biggest part of the target.
Think of how that would sound when asked by pros. attorney, cops, media, etc. I pointed my weapon at the suspect, he failed to comply with my instructions/warning, I was scared for my life, etc., I fired (x) rounds at the center of his shirt and he went down.
