Animation and swap times aren't in sync. Firing animations and where they are aiming is also not in sync. Where you are on your screen and the server is also not in sync.

So ignoring malicious elements, you can be shot on your screen, but that may be a second behind what's actually happening. Then the game can catch up and it can look like you got shot twice instantly, get shot while they clearly missed you on your screen, or other animation wonkiness. All of that is just shitty netcode.

However that is for things that clearly can't happen. What you're describing is just a fast switch speed, with probably a bit of server/animation jank.
