Smoke Check

To immediately kill/incapacitate an enemy or threat in close proximity with extreme violence of action, usually though a large volume of gun fire. Favorite of US forces to indicate a threat has been neutralized. Originates (obscurely enough) from smoke check spray, which is a carbon monoxide tester for smoke alarms. The same way you’d point and blast the smoke alarm, getting it instantly, is how you’d point and blast an enemy fighter, getting them instantly. In close quarters you’d literally be blasting smoke at them (in addition to projectiles).

“Outlaw 1 Actual, Outlaw 1-3 be advised: enemy RPG team smoke checked, break. Clear to advance to battle pos how copy?”

“Outlaw 1-3 interrogative: were effects on target as effective as spraying a smoke detector with smoke check spray?”

“A-firm Outlaw 1, both smoke and other things were blasted at them which had a very immediate effect.”
