Okay, say I'm running around with a plasma pistol, I charge it up... shoot someone, take their sheilds down then how many pistol shots to the head will kill them?

Just the one.

Wait, just the one?

One pistol shot? I always thought it was two or three.

if its a magnum its only the one, if you do this prepare to get flamed really hard by the player who you killed.

Nah, a single magnum shot to the head kills an unshielded enemy. Try it in split-screen if you like.

The trick to shotting the pistol is to aim slightly left and up. The first bullet will land ont he lower right corner of your reticall 90% of the time. Don't believe me, try it.


Is this true? If so, no WONDER I've noticed when I have magnums in swat that as long as I aim slightly above their head, they drop with one shot. Now I know why! I will make sure I do this on PURPOSE from now on. Thank you, DOA :)
