Classic
On the Classic, it takes 2 headshots to kill even without shields, and 6 body shots kill through a heavy shield.
Shots to kill and time to kill
Shields absorb damage one-for-one, so a light shield puts an opponent on 125 effective health and a heavy shield on 150. Time to kill measures from the first bullet landing to the last, which is why a one-shot kill reads 0.00s.

The Classic loses damage past 30m. That drop is what decides whether a fight at range still ends in one shot, so it matters far more than the raw damage number.

Does the Classic one-shot headshot?
Not through a heavy shield. Headshot damage is 78, and a heavy shield puts an opponent on 150 effective health.
How much does the Classic cost?

Can the Classic shoot through walls?
Its wall penetration is rated Low. Higher penetration keeps more damage when shooting through surfaces, which is what makes pre-firing common angles and spraying through soft cover viable.
