Is DMR always a 2 shot kill?

[Biito 1]

So today I was sniping at Electro when I noticed people trying to ghost me, so I end up running over to counter sniper hill only to see 2 different people log in around my previous sniping spot 5 or so minutes later. One of them I hit twice with a DMR at 600 m's once in the leg and once in the chest. (Don't ever fucking trade an m24 for a dmr) So I know the DMR does 8000 dammage so I'm wondering if it's because I hit her in the leg from a distance the DMR isn't zeroed for or what? Or should I just assume if I shoot someone twice with a tier 2 sniper and they don't die that they're scripting. Just wondering as I'm fairly new to sniping (she also ran off after taking two shots, by that I mean got up and ran).

One shot to the head but otherwise yes, it's a 2 shot kill.

I tend to think it's ARMA 2 being dumb. I've shot people multiple times with MK48s, M14s, DMRs, and two bullets just doesn't seem to cut it. I just keep shooting until they fall over, and then I give their faces a few just to be sure.

sniping fresh spawns at elektro.... typical.

^ This. Really no further discussion is needed. This applies to the DMR, M24, CZ550, and SVD.

Someone who has a gun and is trying to counter snipe/ghost is not a fresh spawn. Retard.

Its even worse if they a have bike/motorcycle, just keep shooting until they fall.

DMR is a one shot one kill gun..but it losses power with the distance...over like 600m its getting weaker. Playing lots of DM lately so I am pretty sure…

the damage decreases as the range increases so at 600m 3 shots isnt unreasonable.

It is not a one shot one kill gun.

players have 12k health;

DMR does 8k damage.

back to school for you.

Was one shot for me at 611m, idk if it was headshot or the player had -8k blood though

Its all about the location of the shot. Arm or leg is half damage. Torso is a 30sec/1min knockout with a DMR, followed by death if they bleed out. Head is a WIN. Damage also reduced on all non anti material rifles at range.
