Which weapons do this? I know the pistol and sniper do, but I hear the shotgun also does. Is this true? Any other weapons have head shot bonus? It seems like the plasma rifle MIGHT because when you kill someone with it to the head, they spin.

All that I know of with the "head spin" is the pistol and the sniper. If you use a shotgun to the head, they basically collapse in front of you. There is no head shot bonus.

I think he means when the body spins around when you get a head shot.

No when you shoot someone in the head it does more damage for some weapons like the sniper and pistol.

Although I could be mistaken, I think a head shot with any weapon deals more damage.

yes. headshot by any gun=2x damage. but the sniper rifle, pistol, PP, and PR are the only weapons worth making the extra effort. everything else is too innacurate or explosive.

IF you can be accurate enough, the shotgun will kill instantly if you hit someone with a head shot and all pellets connect.

Oh, ok yea. Like with a pistol to the head. 3 shots and the enemy is dead. LIke he said, a shotgun shell to the head, all pellets hit the head; instant kill.
