I read your 500 head shots post, and similar to you I went head hunting after I got 10 and the only solution I had in mind at that time was to use a Dual AC/20 Jager to aim at cockpit. I was able to get a few but quit doing that because I wanted to play many other mechs and well, I never got into this again.
From a head shot expert like you, what are the numbers required to get one? If max armor on head is always 18, how much pinpoint damage is required to instant kill? I know there are some hidden numbers in there I'm not familir with. It's just that I may spend another hour next evening trying to aim cockpit more but with lasers this time and I would like to know what is required.
Is the formula 18 x 1.5 + 18 = 45 dmg or something similar?
Also I will have to check if lasers can pin point on particular build. I'm thinking of my 5SS which meet damage requirement but not sure all 7 lasers can pinpoint from any distance.
30 PP FLD is the magic number
If that gets 1 Crit, you deal 32.25 damage, so anything with 17 or less armour is dead
To kill a full 18 armour face, you need 2 Crits, for 34.5 damage. Nothing survives that, at 17-20% depending on your TC (or none)
Dual Gauss is the best bet, and praying to RNGeesus

On all mechs the internal structure of the head has 15 HP. Together with max armor that's 33 HP you need to deal for a reliable one-alpha headshot.
So as McGral18 stated 2x Gauss can only insta-kill with crits or already damaged / under-armored heads. But if you also got some lasers to "prepare" your victim or finish the job you should be fine with this combination.
For short-range headshots i suggest the 6x Clan Small Pulse Lasers as seen in the video above. Those can deal a bit more than the required 33 dmg in a rather short time and can be mounted on mechs fast enough to get in (and out if you fail).
Edit:
BTW, it's true that you only need to concentrate on headshotting with a suitable tactic, and you will get them quite often. I played hundrets of matches since beta and only achieved 9 headshots so far until last weekend. Then i tried a 'headshotting' build and managed to get two headshots within an hour. So i think that it's quite possible to get the guillotine-achievement if you really want to.

Props to you though for giving back to the community in this way, thank you.

Now I'm back to around 80-90, which is ALMOST where you can get HSR to agree with your client about 50% of the time.
So... 596 and counting.

Definitely hard to motivate myself to keep playing some days.
Is there an issue with MM? Is it broken, or has it been changed one of those patches I wasn't playing the game nor paying any attention to it?
I've seen some ridiculously stupid play from both blue and red, and it seems like there's been some potato Tier people being placed as targets for the Tier 1 players...

Its the current event... everytime thers one the potatos come out to play. due to the kkmd focus people tend to go more solo than usual too.
