Trope-a-Day: Boom, Headshot
Boom, Headshot: Life got a lot easier for snipers on this point given the amount of fancy hardware (smart targeting systems and auto-assists, predictive target analysis, off-bore firing, etc., etc.) they squeeze into guns these days, and sometimes even into the bullets. Especially for snipers. (But they still train regular weapon-users to shoot for center-mass, on general efficiency principles.)
