Sadly, I dont have proof. So flame away with the "NO PROOF! IT DIDNT HAPPEN!"

I can guarantee you are mistaken. I've played CS/CSS for 11 years. Never happened. I've seen plenty of nade exchange kills-- never ever ever a mutual gun kill. It doesn't happen. Su-san has played since about 2002.

So theoretically 2 players in the same room, with identical computers/connections, could join an empty server, face one another with the exact same gun, and fire simultaneously, and only 1 would die every single time? Someone should do that and let us know how it turns out.

The server will get one of the players information first, and which ever player's that is will get the kill.

Something has to be processed first. Doesn't matter if everything is exactly the same, the server will poll (or read an interrupt? I have no idea how the engine works) one or the other.

If your gun firing is processed first, you win.

basically whoevers shot registers first wins. im sure everyone has had that moment where your animation executes right before you die and you said "wtf i shot him!" yea.... thats called lag.
