    The Dragunov Damage - 4 shots?

    I don't know about everybody else, but ever since I bought BF2 I've had to shoot an opponent 4 times in the chest area for them to die, but all the guides I read say it takes 3 shots. Does this happen to any1 else and if not, what's different about my game?

    Dragunov is 3 shots to the chest i think, you could be hitting them in the arm or shoulder some of the time. It's better to go for the head: 1shot1kill.

      It will take 4 shots to the chest if they have body armor.

        No, I'm a good sniper and I know what I'm hitting, and only 4 chest shots bring a guy down for me. I know about the 1 bullet 1 kill head shot thing.

              SVD takes 3 shots, also chest damage is same as arm or shoulder, but i always hit them in torso 3 times for easy kill.

              SVD totally owns the other sniper rifles, including that useless L96A1. who cares how fast it reloads? most snipers dont survive long enough to reload it anyway, given how much they suck.

              with the SVD its super easy to own other snipers. they shoot you once, you shoot them three times before they can shoot again easy.

                It's not super easy with the SVD.
                The situation where the svd prevails is in close range sniping. Even then, the l96 or m24 is more accurate for a quick headshot kill.

                  Not if that one shot was a headshot.

                  With snipers I find that it's more who spots who first than who has the 'better' rifle.

                  Myself I prefer the bolt action to the auto snipers, they have a stronger zoom (5x vs 3.33x) so it's easier to land long shots (200m+).

                    Same here. Also, headshots are a major priority for me. It seems like if you shoot your target in the chest and doesn't kill it, they automatically know where you are. And, because I am probably in the best sniper location on the entire map, I don't want them to find out where I am.

                    As far as the SVD goes, it definitely owns down on the street. But, for the long range "PWNED!" kills, go with the L96A1.

                      I use both, if i can use smi's ill take em because i can land head shots fast and usually its close range like karkand. Tho i live the M95, and the L69A1 :)

                        It also depends on who you are shooting at. My priorities are always snipers, then medics, then regular troops.

                        Against snipers, it's very important to make that first shot a headshot, because if you don't kill them the damage indicator will tell them your general direction and even if you kill them with a second shot soon after they will come looking for you.

                        With medics, I find that if you shoot them once (torso shot), they will go prone, crawl around and throw some med packs on the ground. Take the 2nd shot before they have time to 'absorb' their medpack and it's another easy kill. Hehe.

                          i always wonder why there isnt a zoom for the snipers im pretty sure these rifles have more then 5x zoom but o well i guess theres not really a need considering you can only see so short

                            Lets hear you say this after I send a single shot from my L96 screaming into your forehead as you frantically try to autonoob me with your semi.

                            Good luck with that

                              No, limb damage is 30% less than torso damage (which actually makes it higher than damage to an armored torso but not enough to matter; still 4 hits to kill).
