Modelled from the 2026-09-03 game-data snapshot: FMJ rounds, every shot landing on the same zone, a 100-health target, and armor that holds for the whole fight. The clock runs over the gaps between shots, so a one-shot kill reads instant and bullet travel time is not included. Torso means centre mass; an upper-chest hit does about 10% more.
