headshots do 3.5x normal damage. Its not always a one hit but certainly levels the playing field between high end and low end guns.

No, that is not correct. Headshots can be a one hit kill, but they are not always going to kill a full health player in a single shot. It depends on the weapon's damage and the helmet's damage reduction.

Any head shot receives a 3.5x damage modifier after the helmet's damage reduction is calculated. That means any head shot doing 29 or more damage after helmet damage reduction is applied will be one hit kill if that player is at full health. Some bots have more health than players so what kills a player in one hit won't necessarily one-shot a bot.

Some guns take 2 head shots to kill in most cases or 3 hits if the target has a 10 point helmet, like the Luger or MP-40, the weaker ones like a Sten, Uzi, or VZ-Klobb will need 2 unless the enemy has a level 6 or better helmet (or 7 + hemlet if the sten/uzi has a silencer for +1 damage) and the strongest ones like the Mosin Obrez, SVT, or Welrod will only need a single head hit to kill a full health player no matter what helmet they have.

Examples: The Luger does 24 damage. With no helmet it does 24 x 3.5 = 84 damage. With a 5 point helmet it does 19 x 3.5 = 66.5 damage. Still 2 hits to kill. The Welrod does 40 damage so even with the best helmet in the game, 10 points, it kills a player with a single head shot since it would do 30 x 3.5 = 105 damage. No helmet and you're looking at 40 x 3.5 = 140. The weakest guns do 20 damage, so that's a 70 damage hit with no helmet but if you have a 6 point helmet, or better, then they do under 50 damage per hit and that means it would take 3 hits to kill a full health player.

Most guns are 2 or even 1 Hit to the head unless you wear very high tier helmet
