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"

Here is 2 different examples. http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/l%20RisingTiger%20l/video/13258620 Edit) also my 3rd Example here... I'm convinced this was bullshit as well. http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/l%20RisingTiger%20l/video/13258859

Imo you definitely sniped yourself, it wasn't a laggy trade. Nice shot ;)
-
Armor piercing and ricochet rounds? Only explanation.
-
Iv sleeper stimulant-ed myself. Ricochet of a wall on the darkblade strike and disintegrated me. got a vid saved of it on my ps4
-
You sure showed yourself who's boss.
-
I was playing trials and my teammate killed himself with a shotgun
-
Wtf lol
-
MOTW plz
-
Happened to me before, on warpreist, some popped their bubble as I shot a sniper shot, it ricocheted and killed me
-
It's happened a lot on this map in particular not sure why
-
Well, every bullet has a small chance of ricocheting. I guess if all the planets align then I guess it could come back and hit you
-
Natural selection.
-
Happened to me as well last week on trials. And I thought that I traded as you did, but my team mate asked me if I slipped on banana or smthing. This is getting more interesting each week.
-
You can has Recon.

No, I think the guy sniped you, but the lag meant that it didn't register until after he had been killed by you. He probably got a post mortem medal.
-
I have had it with a rocket on twilight gap, if you rocket outside from C towards where everyone snipes over but miss, it hits you in the back!!!!!!!! Well annoying when it happens!
-
Get rekt
-
Bullet went 360 around the planet and hit you from behind, yup thats what happened.
-
Only one explanation.... Titan head OP pls nerf!
-
I had this happen with a sword once. I melee someone with a sword and they shotgun me. We both die but I died from a shotgun and he killed himself somehow..?
-
