Summarize your bug The headshot multiplier of the AM40 is equel to 1.25 (which is the SMG headshot multiplier) and not 2.15 as any other assault rifle. This leaves the weapon outclassed by any assault rifle and even some SMG.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to any mode or server. Shoot the target at close range in the body and you will deal 26 damage, then shoot them at the same distance in the head and you will deal 32.5 damage.
What happens when the bug occurs? You will deal significantly less damage then any other assault rifle that has the regular headshot multiplier. You will do exactly 32.5 damage.
What should be happening instead? With the regular multiplier you should be dealing 55.9 damage instead of 32.5.
Currently the AM40 behaves more like an SMG then an assault rifle which it is classified as. The headshot multiplier that the AM40 uses is the recently nerfed SMG headshot multiplier of 1.25 instead of the buffed assault rifle headshot multiplier of 2.15. This leaves the funny fact that a headshot gives NO benefit to the AM40 because you still need 4 bullets to kill even at close range. With this you are better of using the M5A3 if you want to have a fast firing assault rifle.
