Headshots




In the context of military jargon and video games, a headshot signifies a shot of particular skill; the head is one of the smallest targets on the body to hit (and most critical to body functions), and therefore one of the most difficult to shoot. Many First-person Shooter s such as '' Counter-Strike '' and ''Unreal Tournament'' reward players for headshots on this basis. Headshots do more than the normal accepted value for damage. Rarely, players will score a long streak of headshots, either through a phenomenal display of skill or through Luck . One of the higher displays of skill is in attaining multiple headshots with a Sniper Rifle , since the difficulty of tracking a fast-moving target through a scope (making the relative motion of the target even faster) and scoring a headshot requires much finesse. In either case, the extraordinary feat is often attributed to Cheating . This in turn originates from programs or modified game files (such as an Aimbot ) that permit players to instantly score headshots upon seeing a target. Additionally, some weapons in games are dubbed as "headshot machines" due to their Recoil pattern having the innate effect of rising the point of impact up towards the head after a burst of fire.


IN PHOTOGRAPHY

A headshot is a Photograph distributed to promote a person, especially in the case of Actors and Actresses . Headshots are usually taken by a professional Photographer and have been known to cost over US$1000 in some instances. They are often developed in Black And White , although not always. Most of model's and actor's Zed-card s (also known as comp-cards) include a headshot.
