Shots to kill & maximum range for each weapon

[EddiePrice]

Good stuff man, just one thing, I've seen my effected range on my SR-25 Supressed at least 180m, and I've hit targets with my SR at 120m. Just thought id outta let ya know.

Mother * beat me to it!


- by the way, it's true that practically all guns take 3 rounds in almost any part of the body (except for the head/neck area of course) to kill someone.

- The trend with shooting people in SOCOM 3 is that the 1st shot deals little damage, the 2nd shot takes a big chunk, and the 3rd shot does the final blow.

- Also, range is not a factor. As long as you fire within the gun's limited range, the damage will be the same. Point blank does the same damage as maximum effective range.

and yes, I was in the process of doing this exact same thing ( with different weapons at different ranges while shooting at different parts of the body, of course... ).

i didnt miss its happened several times. i snipe 90% of the time. devils road small is a perfect example. sit at one city and snipe to the other city. hit someone in the chest and they wont die with 1 shot from the elr or the a1a, it takes 2 shots or a headshot. so nice job with the fake info moron.

Obviously you're missing. The 50 Caliber Bolt Action guns will kill in one shot if hit at the torso or head.

But again, it really g@y of Zipper to make guns so.... identical in kill power.

I disagree. Zipper did the right thing by effectively "equalizing" the kill strength of the non-sniper weapons. The equal stats allow for a player to use a personal favorite and not get pwned every time. Think about it: if you were given the choice of your favorite weapon that kills in 5 shots or a one shot kill that fires at the same rate, which would you pick? I'll be honest and say that I'd go with the quick kill. Nothing says "high score" like killing before being killed.

The M82 or M87 is a one-shot kill up to around 130 meters. Above 130 m, it takes away all health except for a small red speck.
