whats wrong with these rifles?

somebody pooped in them.

You're not using stopping power.

" You're not using stopping power. "

Use the Intervention with FMJ, and stopping power. Also use sleight of hand if you miss alot.

I use the WA2000 (Silenced) with Sleight Of Hand, Cold Blooded and Ninja, and have no problems cracking off one-shot kills.
 
Spend some time going for headshots only, and you'll soon start reeling them off.

You don't need stopping power, using an Intervention will get you one shot kills provided you're aiming for the upper torso or head. It means you have to pick your shots more carefully but that may be worth having cold blooded for.

In the regular game settings it takes too many shots to kill a person. If you play on hardcore it doesn't feel like your gun is a peashooter, and you won't need stopping power.

" You're not using stopping power. "

Try using Stopping Power and FMJ.

play hardcore, usually a shot from any sniper on any body part will generally be a one shot kill 
 
sure you can use stopping power...but if you play hardcore then you don't have to use that waste of a perk and keep cold blooded on

  FMJ doesn't increase damage so that doesn't help one bit. "

You are mistaken, when to go over it when selecting your attachment, you will see it slightly increases damage. "

" Uhh, yes it does. "

Contrary to popular belief, FMJ does not increase weapon damage, it just increases weapon penetration, serving as an equivalent to Deep Impact.

Yeah, I find Stopping Power to be a must with most guns and in all modes that aren't Hardcore.

Acog doesn't increase range it just says it does. Those stats are based on the feel of the weapon from what I've gathered. "

Either you or the host has a bad connection.

are they?

You're missing the head and probably going for the easy hits

If you don't play hardcore then you obviously aren't a man. Only non-men don't go for hardcore if given a choice.

But that doesn't work either because you can't have a one-shot kill with a sniper via bullet penetration unless it's a headshot. "

Ways to solve this problem...
Use stopping power
Play in hardcore, one shot one kill
 
Also, people need to stop expecting one shot kills with a sniper rifle.  Limbs will not blow off.  Even President Kennedy had to get 2 shots before he went down.
Too soon?

Somehow I frequently get one-shot kills with my trusty Barrett 50 cal. I am using stopping power, perhaps that is the reason...

Stopping Power with the Intervention.
 
Case Closed, it's too easy. Or with any sniper, just use Stopping Power.

One time I was testing this with my friend, i got stopping power pro on intervention and he stood still and i shot and it killed him... we tried it again with him moving very slowly, and he didnt die. I hit him in the head both times... its crazy man.

If you play Hardcore you'll get one shot kills everytime! I wont play unless its Hardcore!!!!

Getting one shot kills are very easy. I use the barret with stopping power and unless I hit the foot or a limb it's a one shot kill.

" I use the WA2000 (Silenced) with Sleight Of Hand, Cold Blooded and Ninja, and have no problems cracking off one-shot kills.  Spend some time going for headshots only, and you'll soon start reeling them off. "

The only time I don't get 1 shot kills is when my target has painkiller. Just do w/o silencers and stick with either the Intervention or the .50 cal.

Take your time and hit the target in the correct area.  Too many people just start pulling the trigger as soon as they're remotely close.  One hits are much, much easier in MW2 than they are in pretty much any other shooter.
