Headshots from behind harder?

Is it me, or is it really hard to get the headshot when shooting at the back of the head? This is most noticeable in SWAT.

When I have an engagement with a player and he is facing me, I can shoot him in the jaw and everything is fine. But from the BACK, I have to hit the top of the head, and it still sometimes doesn’t register.

Any idea? Or I just suck?

Its hard always has been,
I think its like the back armour that’s “blocking” The bullets to get through the head

Actually, that happens to me a lot.
Shoots someone in back of the head, they turn around.
Shoot me.
Insta dead.

It’s like okay Halo 4… Okay…
you win

Yeah… Its always weird when I think I’m lighting some guy up and then he turns around and caps me in like 3 shots. And the I think to myself, was I really missing all those shots?

I get that… but I have to hit the very top of his head. The back peices of armor don’t block THAT MUCH of the head.
