I can't say I agree with the Multiplayer criticisms. Also, I think the L96 model in the game uses the same .338 Lapua Magnum round the Barrett M98B is chambered in, but regardless, one-shot kills come with marksmanship and aiming at just the right height. In most games, being incapacitated and being mortally wounded are synonymous, so if you hit a target with any gun to the point that they would quickly bleed out in reality without medical aid, that doesn't happen in the game. You have quite a lot more resistance to damage and shock in this sense, so I don't think one-hit kill body shots are logically coherent with the game. Also, the 0% health reading is a result of rounding health to the nearest percent, because your health is measured in four significant figures. Lastly, I don't think there's any sort of superiority that comes with rank (I know this wasn't necessarily a criticism of yours, but I would consider it so personally) but rather I can use an AK-74M with just iron sights, never plant a finger on my Defibrillator, and stay that way for a full game of something less team-oriented such as Team Deathmatch, yet still get points and kills.
