Hey man, I dunno what to tell you. I've experienced it multiple times running the gunslinger quest line. Judging by all the other people saying they see it happen too, it can't just be a case of "git gud". Maybe he hit you with a headshot? I guess i'll just have to jump into the crucible and experiment to see what I find.
