Hacker or something else

I was looting the barracks when I heard makarov shots so I stand up and 1 mak shot takes me down to -20 k blood was that a hacker or a close range 50 cal sounding like makarov

I'm not sure. It could be a hacker, but then again, I'm pretty sure all guns are a 1 shot headshot. I'm not too sure about the Makarov though, because I'm positive I shoot zeds in the head with it and they still don't die.

NWAF? Never safe unless 1/50 in server.

Yeah it's a headshot kill..... anything is... though i have seen scripters (Hackers is not the right word) use things witch allows them to fire the Makarov or such and it launches .50 cals... or busses, sheep, cows.... will admit the flying cows were funny as hell!

I'm pretty sure there are some new hacks getting around that buff your health and increase damage on weapons. Ones that haven't really been made publicly known yet. Ive run into a few of these cases that make no sense.
