@chiconspiracy Actually, in MGS2, you can instantly drop unarmoured soldiers with a shot to the heart or to the crotch, as well as the usual headshot. It's pretty funny to do, actually.
I'd just be happy if you could put a round into someone's center mass, hitting their spine, or heart for example, and it would drop them realistically.
@chiconspiracy I find it pretty awful that you can mount a scope on the M14 EBR in this game, but you can't rip that same suppressor from that rifle and stick on the FAL Carbine/G3A3/Mk. 17 in this game despite the fact that all those rifles are the exact same caliber as the M14 EBR. Too bad.
@chiconspiracy There is an exception in MGS2, however. Shoot both arms or both legs of an enemy soldier and they'll immediately keel over and die for no real reason, even if their limbs were armoured. Armour is strangely useless in the MGS series in some ways--the FROGs in MGS4 and the Arsenal Tengus in MGS2 both wear gas masks, but this provides no protection from gas nades or the coolant spray in MGS2, respectively.
Traditionally the soldiers are kind of damage sponges in metal gear games. In Snake Eater, when you use the Dragonov, it takes something like 3 chest shots to kill a guy wearing NO body armor.
@Mazryonh Yeah I remember shooting their feet in MGS2 and Twin Snakes, I always wondered why they died like that.
Pretty bad programming.

A common video game mechanic unfortunately. Sniper rifles often do more far more damage than rifles without a scope, even if the caliber is the same.
