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

[Braznor]

I guess headshots takes more skill.

 

[waggy]

depends on the shot and situation don't it?

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Center of mass... so, heart I guess??

 

[nageov3t]

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

 

[adairusmc]

Center mass.

 

[Jeff7]

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

 

[Zenmervolt]

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

Shoot the target's center mass. Head shot only if that is the only target available.

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?

Aiming for the heart won't kill a Zombie!

Assuming you hit...

 

[darkxshade]

*IF* I was a sniper, I'd aim for the neck right under the brainstem because I'd be that good.

I would still aim for the head.

Death is official when there's no brain activity, right?

you still got a good chance at hitting thighs, stomach, etc.

 

[Foxery]

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.

 

[L00ker]

center masss,

sniper rounds are 50 cal highly balanced and manufactured by sierra bullets

 

[BlackTigers]

I'd aim for whatever I was trained to aim at.

 

[dbk]

It's called a 'headshot', not a 'heartshot'.
