M24..

[zone36]

should I be getting 1 hit kills with this thing?

I'm not much of a sniper, so I don't play the class often.. but when I do, I swear I'm hitting these bastards 3 times on average before they drop.. this normal?

As Ron White says: I can see their head. Shoot 'em in the head.

Re: M24..

does my range-to-target impact the amount of damage my hit inflicts?

No, if you hit them they go down, but one shot one kill applies to head shots only (as everyone here will attest)

JUST PRACTICE. :)

Re: M24..

Shooting them any place other than the head will drop their health to 2 bars. With the M24 this can be dangerous since it's bolt-action. I usually switch immediately to the pistol to finish them off(assuming they haven't ran away, which they often do). Unfortunately, snipers are in the kill damage assist business.

Also, there's the whole M95 being equal in damage to the M24 and people surviving M95 hits *cough* bulls**t... Seriously, why didn't just make the sniper unlock the PSG-1 or an M40A1 if they weren't going to take the .50 caliber bullet seriously?

Re: M24..

Well no its not One shot kill in the Head either..

Sure if you are looking at them from say 50m's away its a 1 Shot kill in the Head, but 200M's away.. Its about 2 Shots in the head

Re: M24..

the psg1, or mine all time favorite, an m14 with an AZT leatherwood(stead of range, change zoom eh?) would be nice, but whatever, its fun sittin close to enemy spawn wit m95 and headshotting them out of their air craft

It drops un-armored infantry down to 2 bars. I think it leaves armored with 4 or 5. The m95 takes all infantry down to 2 bars

Re: M24..

Always look for the headshot. If you miss, you blow your position and die.

Re: M24..

A person can be hit once with m95 before dying. I had one up in a crane, and was shooting people like crazy and got 10 kill assits.
