what causes 26000 damage?

[dragonshield 0]

Things were pretty bad. I had an encounter with another player and was lost 6000 blood. I went to the hospital which was not broken into yet. As I shot the glass I instantly died and went -20000 blood. What do you think could have happened?

A headshot. End of.

Or he had a high power rifle like an AS50, but a headshot is more likely.

AS50 does damage in way bigger numbers. More like an M107 body shot. But I double the suggestion of a head shot from a more common weapon.

Either a glitch or hackers.

That's the answer to everything isn't it?

What makes you think that? Hackers are more creative than just dropping everyone dead on their feet. Lamest hacker death I've got so far is when he teleported everyone on the server 200 meters in to the air.

Most likely explanation is he got sniped, and the reason he doesn't know what happened is because he died on the first shot, be it head shot from a CZ or a body shot from an m107, but because it was the first shot, he didn't get to hear the gun sound because of the bullet being supersonic, meaning he died before the sound reached him.

Or the AS50 and M107, as has been noted in this thread before you showed up? Holy shit dude.
