A few times, while playing snipers no shields I've been shot at with a sniper rifle, dodged and taken a bit of damage, but not died. Usually, any hit kills. Each time I had a wall near me. Am I getting hit by a ricochet fragment or stone fragments from the wall?

I've had the same happen to me except, I was not near a wall. Just grazed or something.

It could have just grazed you.

Not me hosting. It seemed that any bodyshot, (torso to big toe), would kill. Maybe if the server computer can't decide if you're hit, it compromises– like when it can't decide who killed you it was "the guardians?"

i doubt it, more like the server thinks that there are shields and you got hit

In all my uneducatedness in this topic (I wouldn't remember this hapenning to me, but it's been a while since I played Snipers no shields) I'd say its a mix between the lag miss and the screen hit. That would be when you actually hit a player's body, but due to lag, you didn't hit them, but you were close enough so some damage was recorded.

Confusing? I know. It might be it for all we know though!

ive noticed this too. very rare. no explanation i can think of. hell, you can shoot someone in the toe, or even in he finger and they die instantly. maybe theres just one tiny spot that is more armored... i dont know.

Usually in sniper only games there's a pistol or two lying around, and those won't give a 1shotkill on body. That's probably where it comes from-a bit cheap, but effective at closer range cause you get more ammo per clip.

Actually near misses will do a tiny bit of damage- their shields will light up (if they had shields) but nothing sgnificant happens. apparently it also does a little damage to the armor as well..

I have had a similar problem, my friend and i shot this guy three times with the sniper each, and the guy didnt have time to get his shields recharged. it is probably lag. i've had a plasma grenade stick to me and i didn't die.
