Kopfschuss (eng. "Headshot") is the second full-length album by German industrial metal band Megaherz.
The first track, Liebestöter 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.

^ Liebestöter ("Love-killer") a pun on the German word for unattractive underwear.
^ "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".
^ Jordan is named for the expression "to cross the Jordan" (a river in the Levant), meaning "to die".
