A standard rifle will one shot a lot of suits with a head shot.
Also, if it was militia they were tanked and had a lot of SP. A charge shot does something like 350 damage? do you have any clue how hard it is to aim to the head of a moving target especailly since the terrain isn't plain
Hard? Yes.
Impossible? No.
I've done it before, I am not saying that it wasn't mostly luck but hey, find their line of travel and take a guess.
Feels good when it works.

Well, here's a little story that will enlighten everyone to why Sniper Rifles are the way they are.
Ok, so there is this guy named Mark Critelli somewhere out there in the wide world of FPS. Mark Critelli sucks dead donkey **** when it comes to actually playing FPS, however, for whatever reason, he is apparently a phenomenal sniper (or so he would have you think).
Well, Mark Critelli played MAG (as did a large portion of Closed Beta testers) and he created a threadnaught on the MAG forums regarding the "Rollins .50" (the Anti-Material Sniper Rifle for Valor). He begged and cried, pleaded and cajoled and generally threw an Eric Cartman style tantrum on the forums until the Rollins would body shot OHK anything that didn't have (at minimum) upgraded health and Medium+ Armor on (if you didn't have upgraded health, it would OHK anything that wasn't a Heavy and those it would body shot 2HK).
Now move forward to the Dust Closed Beta. A bunch of the MAG vets who had come over to the Beta lobbied for there to be no body shot OHK Sniper Rifles, they begged and cried, pleaded and cajoled and generally threw an Eric Cartman style tantrum on the forums under it was accepted that the Sniper Rifle should be little more than a "Wounding Weapon" without headshots and/or stacked damage mods.
So there you have it, blame Mark Critelli for the state of Sniper Rifles in Dust today.

IMHO, Headshots should be needed for OHK, however, in the case of Light Frames/Scouts I do think that there should be potential for OHK body shots (especially seeing as how they are mostly all going to be cloaking come 1.8)
As a note, I am talking about using STD gear with no more than 1 Damage Mod

As a note, I am talking about using STD gear with no more than 1 Damage Mod A charge proto snipers should be taking away at least 75% of a heavly tanked proto suits health with 4 complexes. Shouldn't 1 complex armour plate counter 1 complex dmg mod?
Complex plates would need a huge nerf to bring that into balance (not saying they should get that nerf, just pointing this out).

However, if SRs worked like the real ones, it would kill this game. Nobody would go for the obj, everyone would just camp somewhere as high up as possible and go for KDR.
You all know I speak the truth on this.
Not everyone, just a significant enough percentage to make it feel like it was everyone.
