Vandal
On the Vandal, one headshot kills through a heavy shield, and 4 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.

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.
