One Shot Guide (Thoggin') v2.0
Hey people! Ever see high ranks (Not always necessarily high ranks) going around and popping one shot into your head and you end up calling them a hack, when they sometimes are just pro one-shooters? My nickname for these fine fellows are Thogs, it is just something I would like to call them instead of one shooter. Now, most the time these guys are just pros who know how to do this good, and believe me, it takes a ton of practice. Here are some strategies to help you out.
Strategies:
• Aim slightly high, I find it easier to bring your mouse down on someone's head, instead of going up and maybe going passed the head, going down, even if you miss, you'll still hit the body.
• All the character models have a general height, this is why i say aim high.
• Practice as much as possible. Sure you may start going negative in games, but once you get the hang of it, people will be calling you a hack, and when you're not hacking, that definitely makes you feel like a boss! Some ways to practice are: Do some private FFA's with your friends and only shoot bursts at their head, this is what i call, "Head Tag", or, "Thog Tag". Also, the best practice is to do it in every public match and clan match you join.
• Pick out a good cross hair. It is your opinion what you pick. To me, I don't think that type A is suitable for Thogging, simply because it doesn't have a point, like type B and C. I think type B is best because it is type A with a dot that doesn't take up all your cross hair like type C, where you can simply put a small tiny dot on a big target and click away. However, some people prefer type C because they find it easy to put that circle on the somewhat circle-shaped head. Like I said, it's your opinion.
• Cross hair color is important. I am constantly changing mine due to the simple fact that to me green doesn't stand out at all, blue doesn't stand out against Global Risk, and yellow doesn't stand out against Black List. Pick a cross hair color that stands out to YOU. Don't let people tell you one is more accurate then another, or one stands out more than another, because it's different to everyone, and a complete opinion.
• The guns are key. Don't use SMG's for Thogging. They have lower power and most take at least 3 shots to kill with a head shot. Don't use snipers, as they have power and always one hit the head, but the ROF, (Rate of Fire) will get you killed, and so will the low ammo capacity. Use assault rifles. About 90% are one shot to the head at all ranges, and are very reliable. Don't use a Scar Light. This gun is too easy and will not build your skill. I recommend using the reliable M4A1-Carbine to start. It's very accurate and moderate power. Once you have mastered this, master the Avtomat-Klashkinov 47, (AK47) and if you get that down, congrats! You've mastered two of the best guns in game! Then go on to spin crate guns (ASSAULT RIFLES) if you want to continue to one shot with more, rare, guns, and master those!
•Optic Sights: Provide a zoom and make their heads EVEN LARGER for you to pick 'em off! Optics are great for thogging.
•Red Dot Sights: Great for precise shooting,especially for putting that dot on a head and pulling that trigger. However looking through any sights, Optic or Red Dot, slows down your RoF.
Guns suitable for thogging are as follows.
•M4A1
•AK-47
•Tar-21
•G36K
•AK-74
•K-2
•Scar Heavy
•SG552
•Steyr AUG A1
•QBZ-95
•XM8
•Ruger Mini 14
If-ish guns are as follows.
•FAMAS
•Type 89
•Winchester ( I don't recommend...)
•M60
•RPK
Guns that are not good for ONE shotting (Thoggin') are as follows.
•Scar Light (Doesn't build skill, therefor isn't acceptable.)
•ALL SMG's
•ALL SNIPERS
When I say M4A1 I mean all weapons of the M4A1 series, ditto for the AK-47. MG's are good for thogging, but can get you killed due to the weight slowing you down, making it much easier for people to pick you off like a sitting duck. All crate guns that are assault rifles are great for thoggin', and are a good way to show off in my opinion, because I always love to thog someone in the head with a rare weapon, rubbing it in their faces.
ZP Crate Guns Good for thoggin'
•M4A1-Custom
•AK-47 Knife
•AK-47 Scope
•M14EBR
•Galil ARM
•M4A1-Elite
•FN M249 MINIMI
•RPK Gold
•M60-Adv
I did not put the gatling gun in here due to the simple fact that the weight makes you feel like you are shift walking everywhere. It is suitable for them noob campers though, if you're a noob camper.
GP Crate Guns Good for Thoggin'
•Baretta AR-70
•XM8-Adv
•AK-47 Camo
•Steyr AUG A1 Camo
I did not put on the M16S-Camo because it isn't a head shot at all ranges... But it is at medium to close range.

Reasonably Good Guide, However...Socandothat wrote: »Guns that are not good for ONE shotting (Thoggin') are as follows.
•Scar Light (Doesn't build skill, therefor isn't acceptable.)
You've been misled. Any automatic 1 hit kill weapon is good for 1 hitting. Saying using a specific gun to headshot people doesn't build skill, just shows ignorance (Like many in the CF Forum Community regarding SL and M12s). Contrary to popular belief if you 1 shot really well with SL, there is nothing to stop you 1 shotting with M4, since recoil and spray pattern don't matter. It is essentially the same movement =>Move Mouse over head, Click, Repeat.
The only thing that matters is how fast you can shoot again and if it is a 1 hit kill. -

Three bad points that I am seeing here:
- The Scar Light, even being considered as a easy gun, it's perfect for one shotting, so I don't see how you don't even recommend it
- Snipers, except the msg, psg, etc are one shot guns, so...
- FAMAS and Type 89 can't kill at long ranges via one shotting.
The rest is ok I guess! -

@[MOD]Us3r
I know the FAMAS and Type-89 can't thog at long range, that's the reason why I put them in the "If-ish" guns, because they can thog at close to medium ranges.
@[MOD]Us3r
I know also that most of the snipers are one hit, but the point of this thread was to guide people with guns that use cross hairs, not scopes. Also I think most snipers that are one hit, have a weight not like a MG, but more than an AR, which unless they are [MOD]BlindRob, or equally skilled as him, shouldn't use snipers (MY OPINION, NOT YOURS!) due to the simple fact that the weight slows you down a bit, and can get you picked off a lot better. -

1st: Nor it takes skill to scope with an AUG or an SG/TAR
2nd: Very good, but then why did you remove the M16S Camo from the GP Crate guns?
3rd: Very good -

3rd: Very good
2nd: The M16S-C came later in the guide, as I took breaks when i wrote this, I did not think to put it in there, but yes, it should be in the if-ish gun classification.
3rd: Thanks! -

Your opinion should not matter when putting guns in a category. If it is suited for 1-shotting, you put it in the "suitable for thogging" list and certainly not in the "not good for one-shotting" list. You can still list your opinion behind the SL if you want to.
Guide seems good apart from that. -

decent guide..but one thing..snipers are good for thog..90% of my snipe kilz are headshots..which in its self takes alot more practice..but overall decent..happy gaming! -

Came up? ^^
The problem is, your making a guide for 1 shotting, but your talking about how wide the crosshair is when the first shot always hits 100%... It is the same movement throughout.
Like I said, the only 2 points you should consider are
1) Damage at 100 metres, if it is 1 hit kill
2) How fast can you shoot again (Obviously snipers fail at this)
I don't care if 80% or 99% of the community agrees on something, if it's wrong it's wrong. I could also say 80% of the community are deluded. It has nothing to do with what is correct. -
v3.0
Dear CF Forum Community,
I have been getting a lot of criticism on this guide, reasons being:
1) The Scar Light
2) Apparently all I talk about is which guns are "Suitable" Which I don't I give strategies.
3) That I'm posting a guide on something that i apparently I can't even do myself, which is a lie, if you watch the replays.
I will be fixing these issues in the 3.0 version soon... With some added replays.
Please remember that this is a different way to play. I'm not saying you should play like this...
And for the people who do play like this I'm not saying this is how you should do it either. I am simply providing the strategies that I use to do this. This isn't a HAVE-TO it's a HOW-TO... -

overall good guide on how to get more headshots.. -
Stupid guide imo, all your saying is pretty much what guns are good at one shooting, which you can't even do yourself probably because of what you've shown in the guide.
Shut up you're not any better, quit degrading threads.
OT: Good guide just because you put time and effort into it.
FFA's do help, and you can 1 shot long range with the Type89
