BF2S Forums Question about the AK-47

most guns dont headshot kill in one shot in CoD4
pretty sure the AK doesnt either

but im pretty sure it should only take 2 shots

I guess its you server pick, take a server from you own country, all of this never happens to me and I always play Dutch servers

it means you're not spraying enough

it means youre canadian

Lol. Crawl back under your rock. Stupid.
I can even bloody headshot with a single 92FS shot.

On Hardcore

No srsly: If you look closely in a server config you find some interesting commands:

set scr_player_maxhealth "100"

It sets the player start health, on normal servers it's at 100, on hardcore it's at something like 60 or 30 don't know exactly.
So lets say a single headshot with an AK47 does 90 damage so you still have 10 health, if you shot once onto the body and the next hit goes into the head hitbox it registers as headshot. Stupid but true. That's why I still like CoD2: Headshot = Headshot even if it's with the loosie Luger pistol.

I think IW should fix that. I don't want to hear: "Play hardcore!" I don't play hardcore, nevar.
And in hardcore mode the weapons don't do more damage, you only have less health. Simple

Headshot detection in cod4 is broken. For every gun

never had an issue, it just isn't an instant kill for weaker guns

The reason it might take a few shots is because maybe you haven't all noticed but they are wearing "Bullet proof" combat helmets.


Also, depending on if it's HC or not, and if you have stopping power or not. You may or may not make a headie.


If you want headshots in normal mode then take the gun with stopping power. Also a big caliber rifle.

In HC any shot even from a pistol or a direct/indirect hit with smoke/frags/stun/flash bangs ect... will kill with one hit.

Agreed. Also, There are differences between hit boxes and per-pixel hit detection, for those of you who do not know.

As Bradt3hleader mentioned, most weapons do not register full 100 damage to the health when it hits the head without the Stopping Power Perk, which increases the initial damage, not counting headshot modification, by around 40%. This will likely ensure a clean headshot in one hit with quite a lot of weapons, but not all.

Range is also a deciding factor in which every weapon, except Sniper Rifles have a damage decrease over a certain amount of distance. Hence, even if the weapon is capable of HS, if the distance is increased, the damage might not be sufficient to be able to take down a guy.

Take off the silencer and red dot sight, they decrease the damage of the AK-47

I heard red dot is bugged on the AK-47 same with the silencer. Not sure if this is true. But yea use stopping power.

Red dot decreases damage?

..Does it decrease for all guns?

AK-47 with silencer or red dot sight decrease damage.
No, they don't decrease for all guns.

Hardcore ftw, when I score a headshot with a sniper rifle, I expect you to die...

Any sniper rifle with a hit on anywhere on HC is a kill btw.

I know, but people surviving a headshot from my M21 is annoying as all hell
