A skillful maneuver, the headshot is often instantly and graphically lethal.

In the context of first person shooters, a headshot is a shot from a firearm or other weapon that impacts the head of an opponent. The head is the smallest target on a human-sized adversary, and often games will reward players for making such a shot, although this can vary according to the realism of the game itself. Most military simulation shooters will instantly kill the victim of a headshot, as will most other games with at least semi-realistic intentions, while other, more abstracted shooters may simply inflict more or standard damage. Headshots are often tied to specific effects in certain games, such as the announcement of it loudly to the player, or a small graphical reward akin to a medal. Another type of reward for the player achieving the headshot  is the destruction of the cranium being rendered in graphic detail, which can be seen prominently in games like Gears of War, the Soldier of Fortune franchise, or Conker's Bad Fur Day.
