min damage at max range and beyond is actually too small to instakill with one headshot, but the max damage and most of the linear damage drop from short to max range allows for instakills with the 2.1x headshot multiplier. Just make sure to get within that gun's 1 hit kill range

R = R_min - [( H / 2.1 - D_min ) / ( D_max - D_min )] * ( R_min - R_max )

where

H is the troops health (900-infil,1000-nonmax,etc)

R_min is the range for minimum damage

R_max is the range for maximum damage

D_min is the minimum damage

D_max is the maximum damage
