Stinger
On the Stinger, 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 Stinger loses damage past 15m. 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.

Scoping slows both your movement and your rate of fire, so it trades the ability to reposition for a cleaner shot. On a rifle that’s rarely worth it in a close fight.
