Kopfschuss (English: Headshot) is the second full-length album by German industrial metal band Megaherz.

The first track, "Liebestöter: (a pun on Wagner's "Liebestod") brought the album most of its popularity abroad. The album features a cover of a Falco song, "Rock Me Amadeus", and continued Megaherz's tradition of having one song per album based on a fairy tale with the track "Rappunzel", which alludes to the story of the same name.

The album was re-released in the US in 2005 as II (read as Two or Zwei) with the handgun removed from the album art.

↑  Bitch is a slightly inaccurate translation in that Miststück is a non-gender-specific insult, though the context of the song makes it clear that the Miststück is a female. Miststück literally means piece of crap.
