How do the other survivors get credit for one of your kills?

Maybe this has been posted before but I don't know.
When playing this game in single player mode I've noticed something odd.
Sometimes when I kill one of the special infected one of the other survivors gets credit for it instead of me.
How's that possible? A glitch in the game?
Or perhaps something else?
Is the one who gives the last finishing blow or bullet ( coup de grace) the one who gets credit for the kill?

Its the person who kills it (so yah the last shot.)
its possible the bot just shot it without you noticing.

Anyways, Survivor's kills aren't recorded (in versus mode) for the most part, and people dont really care about KSes like in most other FPSs

I've broken it down into a simple formula.

Bullet A is fired at boomer.
Bullet B is fired at boomer.

Bullet A travels 1/100 faster than Bullet B

Boomer is killed by Bullet A.

Guy who fired Bullet B rants about how it was his kill

lolz Understand?

I understand what you're saying.
Maybe my eyes aren't fast enough to see the bullets fired from behind me
by fellow survivors.

Yno, for l4d this really doesnt bother me too much, I mean yeah sure its like :what the hell, that was so my kill: since you did 99.9% of the damage and they happened to shoot at the last second. The important thing is, the SI is dead & no longer a threat. I choose not to think twice about it.

now if you REALLY want to get pissy over a "stolen" kill, try halo. It doesnt even give assists like cod. going from cod to halo is awful, its like WHAT THE TIT. wheres my assist!? ohwait...
