Did... Did I just snipe myself?
Last night I was lucky enough to join FiZzoR for some trials on his steam when this happened. At first I thought that I just traded with the other guy, then I saw the feed "BRUTALBREAKD0WN IS DOWN"... Did I snipe myself? How on earth did that even happen?
I'm not exactly sure what killed me, does anyone have any ideas?
EDIT:
A lot of people think that we just traded. There are two reasons why I don't think this is the case. Firstly, it doesn't give him the kill, it just said "BRUTALBREAKD0WN IS DOWN". Secondly, he was using the 1000 yard stare that everyone gets from the taken war quest which comes with firefly. If he killed me it would have had to have been with a headshot, which would have caused firefly to proc.
My current theory (although it still probably isn't completely correct) is that sniper bullets have more than one active frame in which they can deal damage. This explains why a ton of collateral sometimes just don't look right. Maybe lag extends this period or something. Either way I think that I sniped him, then strafed behind cover whilst the bullet still had active damage frames, during this time the bullet ricocheted off the box thing in front of me causing me to snipe myself. It's not a solid theory but so far it's the best thing that I can think off other than "I just died for no reason when I fired my gun"

Unlucky skip rounds

The sniper bullets obviously bounced off each other and ricocheted into your head

I killed myself with the sleeper, looked awesome xD

If you have ricochet rounds it could have.....
-
I reckon the bullet split in two on that crate, one half hit him in the face, the other bounced back into yours. Science!

4 RepliesThat happened to me on Golgoroth once except with a Titan bubble. As soon as I pulled the trigger a bubble appeared in front of my face and I died

Amateur. You obviously didn't clean your barrel properly. Smh

2 RepliesGuy on my team last night sniped him self in the head using ceramic / skip rounds.
-
I had the same thing happen. Got the kill and somehow my bullet came back and domed me. No skip rounds

3 Replies*In best halo announcer impersonation* SUICIDE! Who knew ricochet rounds can be deadly?

I think the same thing happened to me I was popping in and out of my bubble and died looked in the corner and saw i was down it was pretty funny not gonna lie
-
That was lag lol, but nonetheless pretty funny.
-
Lag and glitched text msg. You sniped eachother.
-
I vaporized myself once with a rebounding SS shot inside my own bubble once. Made me just about die laughing.

1 ReplyLag. You both shoot at the same time due to his lag he dies first but kills you with a shoot through the wall.
-
Everyone have been complaining about snipers. You see, it is not that easy :) lol

4 RepliesI play trials every week with randoms off lfg. This week for whatever reason this has been a thing Ive consistently heard. It happened to a guy in my fireteam where it said he was down and another said he somehow sniped himself. Clearly there is a rare glitch going around

fukking bungie sniping physics for ya

Probably someone cheating by stuffing around with their connection.

What you get for wearing the engram mask!

Been happening all weekend... Corpses are floating off into the void with full health.
-
3 RepliesWas lag. If you saw in the super slowmo The guy actually fired a shot off to hit you. But not only was this after he died but you can see he still was full health even though he died. You guys traded. But due to either lag or terrible server connection it didn't count as him killing you.
