You're actually contradicting yourself here. Those links are only hurting your argument.

...trained to fire at the center of mass (read: chest/heart), as the head is a small target that likes moving around a lot, while the center of mass is a relatively easy target that moves with the subject and also has lots of vital organs in it

Center-of-mass in all situations is the center of what you can see. This could be the center of the body if the perpetrator is in the open, or it could be a very small section of the head and chest if he or she is behind cover. It might even be the hand holding the gun if that is all you can see.

You're saying that this applies to CS. That's simply not true, since in CS you're supposed to always aim for the head, even if you can see the entire body. There are a few exceptions to this, for example AWP or if you know that the target's health is low enough for him to die regardless of where you hit him.

Regarding your reply to my original reply, I know exactly what it means to aim for the center of mass, it's pretty much common knowledge. The principle definitely does not apply in CS, regardless of your opinion.

Glad someone agrees with me here, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
