[TIPS] Max Payne 3 defeating the armored machine gunner guy in the crane scene (on top of the collapsing hotel)

This one is tricky.  If you're on hard difficulty or higher, you'll probably find it nearly impossible to beat without at least one painkiller.  Note that if you keep dying, the game will give you one, and then two painkillers on restart.

The key thing is to just aim for his head.  However, you want something with serious power.  Generally the rifles you have on the level aren't strong enough.  If you have a revolver and a pistol, dual wield them and just fire at his head calmly.  Once his helmet pops off one more headshot will kill him.

In fact, a general tip for defeating the armored machine gunners is to dual wield pistols.  I have no idea if they actually have higher damage per second than automatic weapons or if there's some kind of penetration stat, but dual wielding pistols will usually take off their helmets in very few shots.
