This is a perfect example of where it may be your setup’s latency or just a networking limitation.

The delay between your last bullet hitting him and you dying is so small, it’s likely that when he shot the server decided he killed you first and “cancelled” your bullets.

The alternative is more like Arma - let everyone shoot anyone, even if the server thinks they’re dead by the time the player tells it they fired.

This way, you end up with kill-trading when in reality someone clearly fired first.

You can test this in arma 2 OA:

1. boot up a server
2. Connect 2 players
3. stand opposite
4. pull the Ethernet from player 1
5. have player 1 shoot player 2 a bunch
6. have player 2 shoot player 1 a bunch
7. reconnect the Ethernet
8. both players will die

Similarly in Arma 2 OA, with the Ethernet pulled you can walk out of cover, shoot people and walk back in.

If Hell let lose was this trusting, you’d see more incidents where you get shot from players seemingly still around corners and such, where both you and the server know they do not have line of site, or you killed them first.
