Question about murder counter and damage.

Hello all.

First question is about murder counter. So I was at the quarry near Solnichny as I saw a figure running near the city. It was really far away so I saw just few pixels but anyway recognized it as crouch-run with long rifle. I went prone, brought iron sight of my beloved Enfield and made a shot. It landed much below the figure. The survivor hits the dirt and starts to crawl. I adjust my aim by pointing few millimeters higher, then BOOM – as I see the cloud appeared just at the point where pixels were crawling. But I don’t see the figure anymore: it's on edge of a view distance + grass layer. I made few more shots to the same location to empty the clip. I checked my murder count and it was 0 (fresh character hehe). So I thought "whatever, no chance to hit, he was too far away". But on my way downhill I suddenly notice that murder counter increased to 1! So my question is if person dies from bleeding does it count for me as a kill? Or just the counter update is too slow?

Second question is about Glock17 and it's firepower. So I was looting that 5-story building in Berezino as suddenly I hear footsteps in the next room. "Server hoppers" – I say to myself. I run into the next room: guy with ghillie suit and DMR. Does he have a chance with his sniper rifle against me in CQC? Of course not (it was veteran server with no crosshair too). I unload half a clip on him, he has blood fountains all over his body and… disappears! "FUCKING DC COWARD" – I tell myself. As of fear that he will reconnect behind me I start to run to the staircase to escape the building. There I find another guy with shotgun. As I get right in front of him, unload the rest of the clip which is 7-8 shots, I clearly see the shots hit (those red clouds that represent blood). He's bleeding like fucking fountain! But doesn’t die! While I go backward to reload my pistol he finally gets an aim and shoots me to death. So WTF with Glock? Is it so underpowered? It was zero distance, I saw my every shot lands on their bodies! Or were they fucking cheaters?

What I learnt from this encounter is that you have to use the heaviest gun you have. I had AKM on my back. I was using G17 just because I didn’t want to waste precious ammo on some random zombie that could spawn inside the building.

Answer One: Yes, bleed out counts as you killing them.

Answer Two: Depends on shot placement. Most guns are 3 shots to the body for a kill. The blood cloud can happen and shots not affect the target, however. It's due to server lag and poor hit registration.

Thank you for the answer. But it was much more than 3 hits. Ok, I may understand how I didnt kill the first guy - maybe he DC'ed right away and I was shooting his ghost. But the second one was moving and trying to get and aim on me. He got about 8 bullets in the chest region. There were blood fountains all over his body. And when you die you have few seconds before that "you're dead" screen appears. During that time I saw him approach me and crouch above my body. I know about the lag and that guy may die after few seconds he got hit. But I should have seen him dying during these last seconds! I cant belive he survived 8 gunshots. He should have at least lose his consciousness because of pain.
