They used to say that was because you hit a hand or something, but they were supposed to have fixed that so you get damage for the larger of the multipliers. But I’ve definently noticed that one. ---

If it’s not a sniper rifle chances are you’re going to need more then one headshot to kill someone… ---

> [@mollyfrank1](#): > > man wish I knew everything like some of the experts who have an explanation for everything. Dice stooges I apologise for actually knowing some stuff such as damage models that enables me to conclude that two headshots aren’t always a kill using an m1911. in fact the critical range were this starts to happen is rather small. I guess I’ll have to forget the facts and just argue based on my feelings. would you appreciate that? also you don’t get one shot… maybe it feels like you do due to poor hit indication or damage stacking but your are not actually getting one-shot (unless you are on low health or getting headshoted in cqb with a revolver of course) ---

I even tried to suggest that they record video so they have something to back up their claims and their first response was “don’t know how but I know what I see” and when I pointed out that they’d been told how to use the DVR in the past, and re-supplied the Sony FAQ link, their response changed to “can’t be bothered”. ---

a headshot is a headshot when it kills. at least that’s been my experience. it may have changed in recent updates but AFAIK assignments only count headshot that kill [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/when-is-a-headshot-a-headshot/106800.md?page=2)
