Heyo I've been having this.. Ehm.. Issue, I think? I'm not getting OSK's (One-Shot-Kill) anymore with FMJ attached to my Sniper. It used to grant you a OSK, I'm pretty sure of that. I am that sure, because I ALWAYS use Cold Blooded Pro (before Prestige aswell), and FMJ used to give me OSK's every single time. Now, I need 2 to 3 shots with just FMJ attached to get a kill. Pretty annoying. Anyone got thesame problem, or got an explaination? Flame
fmj does not add damage. snipers give one shot kills with shots to the head neck and chest. you just suck at sniping now. stopping power allows you to get one shot kills with stomach shots as well.

yeah i was always under the impression that FMJ just adds more bullet penetration making it much easier to shoot people through walls. Stopping power is the only thing that actually makes your shots stronger.
Haha, I'm not good at sniping, but I don't suck either. =D And if you look at the charts, you'll see that FMJ adds a bit of damage. Anyhow.. I guess I used to shoot at the chest, and now am shooting at the waist. Thanks, guys. :)

Yea FMJ does add damage to your shot but not by much at all.Your better off going with stopping power if you want more damage.
Actually, just to clarify, the in-game charts/stats are very misleading. FMJ, while there is a small boost in damage in the in-game chart, is truly only symbolic, by this i mean that the bullet will retain a multiplier after passing through a wall closer to the multiplier before passing through the wall. Stopping power is %100 the only thing that can actually add damage, and it does this by increasing the multipliers to different parts of the body. I could go find an actual chart with the real data somewhere, but I'm feeling a little too lazy, so please take my word for it. I absolutely guarantee I am right. You might also notice that the FAMAS has very little "damage" according the in-game chart, but I think we all know it kills as easily as an M16A4, which has a very high "damage" amount according to the in-game stats. (Not looking at the game now, but I'm pretty sure I remember noticing that.)
Well. I think the problem is actually derived from the combination of using Cold-Blooded while sniping on a connection dependent game. Personally, I prefer the safety of being able to get the OSKs in the waist region with Stopping Power, rather than taking the extra second to pinpoint on their chest of even their head. I know Cold-Blooded Pro has it's benefits, but in truth, Stopping Power with always be the more practical and reliable choice.

I beg to differ. I get easily killed by other snipers and preds and AC's without Cold Blooded. Racks up deaths, rather than go unnoticed and keep the deaths low. @ Logan, that takes extra time, which I could have spent killing more people. Once I see them, they disappear pretty quickly..

True, true. I just use Intervention with FMJ and stopping power. No need to be stealthy.

Okay. let me rephrase based on my personal preference. I prefer to use Stopping Power to avoid troublesome hitmarkers on a mediocre shot. I am not a perfect sniper, and most people aren't, so to use a sniper rifle effectively, I would rather have the added leverage of stopping power to get the most out of the kit - the most being the most kills obtained effectively. Also, there's a certain dynamic to a game in which the other team is acquiring predator missiles and AC-130s, CG's etc, and in those situations, the best thing to do is what your brain tells you to do - get indoors and stop trying to be a ninja out in the open. It is not THAT difficult to spot some brainiac running around with cold-blooded during your AC-130 or CG. I'm also a little confused about your point of being "easily killed by other snipers" when not using Cold-Blooded. What you're looking for is a silencer, not cold-blooded. Only retards don't notice the sound of a sniper, the bullet flying past them, and/or the red dot on the UAV, aka you. You can avoid being picked off when using a sniper rifle and stopping power by learning how to effectively traverse across each map in a way that keeps in a certain distance from wherever they're spawning, and gives you effective vantage points. Had I not wanted to respond with two paragraphs, I guess all I really had to say was be a f***ing man and pull out a stinger if you're getting destroyed by a big killstreak. Don't blame getting nuked by 1337N05C0P35 on not having cold-blooded.

Don't blame getting nuked by 1337N05C0P35 on not having cold-blooded. Can you please keep calm? I, too, prefer Cold Blooded, ever since I've used it. I usually lay in the grass, or go inside a building whenever I can (I'm not really stupid), and be as unnoticed as possible. I prefer stealith over OSK's, when it comes to making that choice. I'm glad we all have different preferences, else games would be dull. =D Don't take this thread or any of my replies as an offensive post. :) Didn't mean to.
I am calm, haha. I just like to be right, or at least feel like I'm right. (And I'm at work as an intern so I don't have s*** to do.) Oh and I didn't take any offense nor did I intend to seem offensive. See? --> lolololololololololololololol roflroflroflroflroflroflroflrofl lmaolmaolmaolmaolmaolmaolmao
fmj adds no damage to your shot stopping power enhances the field of higher multipliers on a persons body meaning that you will be much more lkely to kill them
