IF you are a sniper, would you aim for the head or the heart?

heart... because even if I miss, I'd probably hit something important as opposed to hitting air.

The head is a bigger target, and much easier to reliably locate.


Plus, the expression is "BOOM! Headshot!" There is no "BOOM! Heartshot!"

yep, even if you dont hit the heart a sniper round going through your chest is prob gonna kill you anyway

With the right rifle, either is incapacitating. So it would depend more on which shot was clear.

That's what I'd think, the kind of velocity those weapons probably have, any shot in the torso is going to be pretty devastating.

And they use pretty large rounds as well don't they?

I'm torn. *If* you are sure you can make the headshot absolutely perfectly, then go for it. If you can fire 2-3 rounds quickly, you can get enough vital organs to ensure that chest shots won't just send the guy to the hospital.

I like the style taught by Leon the Professional - hit the heart and lungs.
