Weapon numbers

Worked out from the game's config values, for a fresh player who stands still and is hit every time, with the gun's fastest fire mode. Torso and Head are without armor; the armor columns are with that item, new. A hit's damage follows the bullet's speed where it lands, so the shots can differ from the listed damage, and far away a round can need one more. Bleeding is not counted, and server settings can change all of it.

Past about 450 m the bullet has slowed enough to need one more torso shot.
