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"

Maybe he had ricochet rounds on and it didn't register as his round when it killed you.. Or you sniped yourself. Pretty cool either way
-
Lol [spoiler]happens to me sometimes[/spoiler]
-
That map is weird. I kill myself all the time, just by running or shooting a weapon.
-
I need a skip round sniper now
-
Ricochet rounds, do you have then on that sniper
-
Someone say something so I can come back to this later.
-
got shot from behind. Not sure why it didn't register...
-
Lol the shot looked like it ricocheted off the other guys head!! That was awesome to see!
-
You are dead.......they are not......
-
If you slow it down frame by frame you can see a bullet come in from behind you , hit you in the head and then hit the round object you hid behind.
-
You'll shoot your eye out kid!
-
Lol, if you have ceramic rounds the ricochet probably killed you. I did the same thing during Skolas, I was pissed and laughing at the same time

I had a rocket blow up in my face last night in that same spot
-
There were a lot of glitches in last week's trials.......
-
Might be an ACME round .
-
I had that happen when I was doing the Warpriest challenge mode, I just randomly got killed from my own sniper round.
-
Haven't watched the vid, but I got killed by a Stormcsller on my own team. Yesterday
-
I sniped my friend in the back of his head and died from misadventure. Guessing lag or weird ricochet....
-
Yeah it happened to my friend in Trials too.
-
Dear Bungie, OP is a danger to himself and others. Please NERF Snipe the planet!!!

Edited by TacTheScribbler: 12/15/2015 2:48:00 PMAlright, story time: Back when Crota HM was still the toughest challenge in Destiny, my friends and I used the Ogre room strat (like pretty much everyone else). We drop the first Ogre and my buddy pops a Ward. Confident in my abilities, I ready my sniper, bathe in the Blessing of Light, and step forward to take my shot at Shrek's wife. I pull the trigger and instantly die. There was no death sound, and my Exo didn't make a peep. The Oversoul appears and melts my team. Turns out I hadn't left the Ward completely and my Skip Rounds.... [i]backfired[/i]. (I haven't used Skip Rounds on a sniper since.)
-
Lag. You traded head shots or were shot by another player...and the program couldn't process it fast enough.
-
Possibly skip rounds

Damn nice play that's what I call a 2 for 1
