  2. Half cocked comes from flintlocks. I'm no expert but I believe it is when the frizzen closes the pan? In that state when the flint strikes it won't ignite the powder in the pan. So no boom. That's also where the phrase flash in the pan comes from too BTW. That's when you're full cocked, the powder in the pan ignites and there's still no boom. All you got was a flash in the pan.
