Headshot

From TF2 Wiki

A Headshot is a successful shot to the head with a scoped Sniper rifle, Huntsman arrow or Ambassador bullet. Snipers who land a Headshot score a critical hit, though twenty-three milliseconds must pass from the time you use +attack2 to the time you fire for a headshot to be considered a critical. Players earn 1.5 points for getting a Headshot kill: one point for the kill plus half a point for the Headshot itself. Scoring a headshot with the Huntsman yields another half point in addition to the aforementioned bonus, resulting in 2 points per kill. A fully charged sniper rifle headshot results in an instant kill (even on a overhealed Heavy). A headshot with the ambassador results in a critical hit. Killing an enemy with an ambassador headshot yields an extra point in addition to the kill.

The Sniper rifle, Huntsman and Ambassador are the only weapons to hit the head for bonus damage, though Pyros with exceptional aim can score headshots by reflecting arrows with the compression blast.
