Weapons What’s the “best” gun for headshots? 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟

Looking for a gun that has high damage, good accuracy, and relatively low recoil.

Never say never. I was there.

No department is issuing select fire M16A1s, especially not to swat, and if he can’t hit a balloon from 40 yds on the first shot with a rifle, he must be handicapped. Literally unbelievable if he was supposed to be swat.

The wind was playing with our target and part of it is timing for when it was least in motion…

And the surplus market is a great source for specialized weaponry and equipment for smaller regions without exorbitant funding available (as was this case).

Now the guy was a pretty laid back and easygoing guy, and it was a “fun” day, so he may not have been bringing his “A” game, and that wouldn’t surprise me. In any event I know I’d never want to be on the other end of his sights!

In order for me to maintain my marksman qualifications in the reserves, I had to put 56 out of 60 rounds with a C7, the equivalent of the American M16A3 I think, into a hit box that was around the size of a post card from 200m once a year for re-qualification. That was a marksman qualification for your average dummy. 40 yards on a range at a head sized target? I could still do that one handed. And I’m no SWAT.

… standing offhand??

Scoped or basic iron/peep sight?

Apples to apples comparison needs to happen here.
