OK, so I know this is only a game and not real life, but shouldn’t being shot in the face/head kill you instantly?  
Where “in the real world” would that not be the case? Where or what is the logic in it NOT doing so.  
On the crosshair feedback the colour changes when a headshot is made, hence a positive headshot is recorded  
yet, the enemy does not always ‘die’ but takes some ‘damage’ - ludicrous IMO.  
Understandably, a body-shot may hit ‘armour’ or not directlty kill someone, but when you shoot someone  
IN THE FACE they should ‘die’, right? Or am I on a different planet to anyone else?
