Yeah, that was pretty clearly explained on the site, along with the damage modifiers for a headshot. You must have missed that, like you've missed most of the rest of this discussion.

I've been killed in 2 from a Hotwire...

I'm not saying you're wrong, but what's going on?

Well, there could be quite a few different things going on:
*1* she picked up a shotgun (unlikely, because you probably would've noticed that it wasn't a pistol)
*2* she picked up a rocket launcher (VERY unlikely; even a blind & deaf man could tell it wasn't a pistol)
*3* she picked up a sniper rifle (likely, because pistol & sniper rifle shots don't seem very different, except for damage)
*4* you were already hurt before she shot you (unlikely)
*5* someone else was shooting you at the same without you realizing it (likely)
*6* her "shots" were actually charges of c4 (yeah, I don't really think this is what you meant either)

Jzinsky

someone should really test this personally.

Deathgod

IT IS MY SITE, I DID TEST IT PERSONALLY.

I also personally tested every damage number for the site. Those damage numbers on fudonline.com are correct. (My own personal data is all up at http://web.mit.edu/bmueller/www/reninfo.html, if you're interested.)

I worked it out last night, my figures are based on a headshot and yours on a bodyshot...

Okay, I've actually written out the math that shows how many body shots or headshots it takes to kill infantry. Hopefully this will clear up the confusion.

Pistol: 10 damage (50 with a headshot)
GDI Soldier: 7 damage (35 with a headshot)
Nod Soldier: 5 damage (25 with a headshot)

THEREFORE:

It takes the following # of shots to kill with a pistol:
20 (or 4 head) vs free infantry (which have 200 total health + armor)
.......... 20*10=200; 4*50=200
25 (or 5 head) vs low-class infantry (250 total life)
.......... 25*10=250; 5*50=250
30 (or 6 head) vs mid-class infantry (300 total life)
.......... 30*10=300; 6*50=300
35 (or 7 head) vs high-class infantry (350 total life)
..........35*10=350; 7*50=350

with a GDI Soldier:
29 (or 6 head) vs free infantry (200 life)
.......... 29*7=203; 6*35=210
36 (or 8 head) vs low-class infantry (250 life)
.......... 36*7=252; 8*35=280
43 (or 9 head) vs mid-class infantry (300 life)
.......... 43*7=301; 9*35=315
50 (or 10 head) vs high-class infantry (350 life)
.......... 50*7=350; 10*35=350

with a Nod Soldier:
40 (or 8 head) vs free infantry (200 life)
.......... 40*5=200; 8*25=200
50 (or 10 head) vs low-class infantry (250 life)
.......... 50*5=250; 10*25=250
60 (or 12 head) vs mid-class infantry (300 life)
.......... 60*5=300; 12*25=300
70 (or 14 head) vs high-class infantry (350 life)
.......... 70*5=350; 14*25=350
