Who first coined the term, "Head Shot"? Was it Kodak, the military or the porn industry?

Update:

Great, plain old me. I was hoping my question wasn't too highbrow.

    I believe the the term was coined during a military porno, if I am not mistaken.

    Thank you for sharing these results. Very interesting. I have a Capricorn friend who paid her way through college doing porn, and I just wanted to add something she told me. It was a means for her, not something she really cared about. She said that externally, for what is seen by the viewer, the producers choose the women based on looks and performance. That is what matters most to the viewers. Internally, or what works best with actually making the movie, they select the men based on endowment, because that is what matters to the viewers and the women actors the movie. So according to her, the selection of male and female stars is based on different thinking. But I'm strictly talking about straight porn.

    Mug shots were called head shots before the porn industry invented the 'money shot'.

    I thought the porn industry had the belly shot or pearl necklace........ I grew up think those were instructional videos & it took me 9 years to figure out why I wasn't getting my wife pregnant
