How to unlock the Lead Aspirin achievement in Resident Evil 5 - Definitive Guide
Go around the map and hit a few hourglass icons to give yourself time, then run towards the middle of the map. The one story building in the middle has a stair way on the side that let's you get on the roof (or you can approach it from they alleyway behind it.) Just trail a large number of not-zombies and jump from building to the shed to the structure that looks like a railcar. Once you make your jump, use 180 spin (down on d pad and a) to turn around, aim up, and shoot when they jump. If you don't get it the first time, rinse and repeat.
Be aware if you kill too many the Executioner will show up to make this a bit more difficult.
Play until the big zombie breaks the gate, run trough and get on top of the bus in the middle.
Take the Ithaca Shotgun (upgrading the damage will increase your chances of success).
Wait until a Majini tries to jump on the bus and aim for his head before he jumps, now you just have to hit the right spot in the right moment - good luck!
Location: Chapter Select to Execution Grounds. Defeat the first Enemy, than turn right up a level and stand in front of the gap. Enemies will jump over that gap, but you will use a Magnum/Pistol/Machine Gun, to try and hit their Heads. Adjust aiming when a shot missed a head - the Enemies' position during air, will be equal for every one who jumps over a gap. If failed, MENU/Quit/A/A/Play Game/Chapter Select/Execution Grounds, to try it again. Good luck, but it is simple.
I find this easiest with the 3 barrelled shotgun, which you get later in the game, but the normal one should work too.
On the first mission, when the executioner boss appears, this is your chance.
Run past the bus and onto the left building roof. Jump onto the bus and wait for a Majini to catch up.
When your opponent is about to jump across you need to aim above their head slightly and fire. If you got a headshot and killed the opponent (which is likely with a shotgun) then there's your trophy. If not, then try again as the enemies keep spawning.
Chapter 3-2, after you've taken out the initial wave of Majini head down and they'll take out the bridge. Stay on your side for the moment at they will come to you jumping across the platforms. With the Gatling Gun, just aim up and keep firing when they're jumping across to you.
This trophy is a lot easier than it may sound. The best level to attempt this trophy is 3-2 with a shotgun, I used a fully upgraded Hydra. Take away your partner's weapons to prevent them screwing it up for you. As soon as the level starts run to the area where you need to jump over the gap killing any enemies that get in your way. Aim your shotgun just below the rope and fire away once they jump. There will also be a Crossbow Majini who you may want to take care of first. If you fail to get a headshot, restart the checkpoint and try again.
Other good areas where you can attempt this trophy are as follows:
1-1: This is in the timed area at the end of the chapter. After the executioner busts the gate in, you can run out and climb upon the bus which will force the Majini to jump over to you. They can also jump from behind, so watch your back..literally.
5-3: After dispatching the first reaper and moving forward sightly, several Majini will come out of the door further down the walkway. In order to reach you, they'll need to jump across.
Here's a video showing how it's done in 3-2:
Note: The Majini does not necessarily have to be jumping when you score the headshot. If, for example, you kill a Majini that is falling in the air with a headshot, you will also obtain the trophy. Thanks to Asher1985 for this information.
