BF2S Forums Should M95 be made to kill in one shot from torso up.

only if the target is already hurt...

doubt all 3 were injured running out of a spawn area and no artry had been used.

one shot one kill is how it should be, and not just head shot to get a kill

7.62 rounds are big and heavy and being hit by one will do the job...better realism would make for a better game, I mean who has heard of a sniper having to use their pistol to finish the target off!!! Wouldn't be in range for a pistol shot anyway....

.50 will stop a car by going through the engine block so a soldier with body armour will be no problem

sadly the AK would be one shot one kill if the game were to be realistic, but the point about the sniper rifle is that it has way more range than the AK so thats why it should be a one shot and not have to go and shoot with a pistol as it states in the weapons gde in this site.

read Black Hawk Down and it tells us how one of the Delta lads uses a 7.62 ruger (think thats right) as the 5.56 rounds don't kill the natives when they are high on their drugs. Said that the 5.56 would pass through clean while a 7.62 makes bloody big holes.

I've fired the old British SLR rifle which was classed as the worlds most powerful assualt weapon in its day and it kicks like a mule, while the SA80 feels rubbish and not that much of a kick compared to the SLR. Bigger bullet bigger hole....way it should be my friend

call of duty 2, 1 hit kills on the torso with sniper rifles

Is it really? I dont remember that, but it has been a while since I played CoD2

Theres only 1 thing to say here,,,, HELL NO!!!!!!!!
The M95 is a great gun already, for the sake of balance it  should be left as is. There are already 2 many snipers running around. Realism is not a factor here because in real life u don't respawn after u die, a shiny spanner doesn't fix everything, running over a first aid kit doesn't cure bullet wounds and a tank driver cant put up a flag from inside the tank. Its a game not a sim people. Go play flashpoint if u want something closer to realism.

Same calibre does not mean equal, even the exact same bullet through two guns can perform quite differently (MP5 v. a handgun for example). These two bullets are different shapes and travel at very different speeds; remember the AK is a pure assault rifle, not a rifle, so it doesn't use a full-power rifle cartridge. 7.62mm x 51 is the NATO round, 7.62 x 39 is the Soviet-era round; the first has a muzzle velocity of around 830-840m/s, the second ~700m/s... very different beasts.

You are right, I forgot about velocity and lenght

Im tired of sniping sometimes with the M95. I hit te guy he lose only 95% of his health. Its a FREAKIN .50 cal for goodness sakes. I doubt anybody in real life who gets hit by that sucker in the body is gone.

I agree with you, snipers should be one shot one kill masters regardless of a headshot or a chestshot .

M95 is antimaterial to you noobs out there. you can shoot a pilot throught the cockpit but you can kill an assault class that has body armor on with a chest shot. Whats wrong with that picture.

But there is another point of having a non kill chest shot. i would appreciate it if i get some karma points if i say something like the following:

1) we all know before that people would kill by noob tubing. Basically you can kill one person with one grenade or several players clumped together with one grenade. And what was the end result, everyone was using assault and everytime you were in a shootout against this class, all they do is noob tube like a madman....end result is a bunch of assault kits noob tubing of each other.  Basically they abused the kit too much., Now the noob tubing has died down.

2)  Everyone used to throw c4 and fast chuck before with spec ops. As a result, people were c4 throwing like there is no tomorrow. That is the reason why everyone was using spec ops.

3) Assuming FF is off in a server, people are dying faster with claymores than bullets. In a CQB , you see snipers doing suicide runs throwing claymores like there is not tomorrow. Now everyone wants to be a sniper and claywhore the whole entire round.



Yes i agree that a sniper should have a one shot one kill especially a chest shot. but what happens when they become one shot one kill in the chest masters.? simple, everyone is going to be a sniper.  basically , there is no point being out there in the open or taking out flags.

It boils down to kit abuse, that is the main point of what i am saying to day.

someone had a good idea on one post about this, he suggested a knockdown, where it made you go prone for 2 seconds or so, that would be a good idea at the very least.

body armours are quiet surprising sometimes, Ive seen a video of an american medic being shot by a Dragunov and he got knockdown, but after 2 secondds got up and hid behind his humvee. The article said he hadnt suffered serious injuries

I've seen someone test the myth of knock-down power by being shot in the chest (with 7.62mm NATO I'm pretty sure, I think the gun was an FN) wearing one of those armoured vests like the bomb-disposal guys use.

He stood on one foot.

The impact rocked him back slightly (just like the shooter... duh, Newton's third law).

His exact words were, "Less than a punch."
