Well either he was lagging out, or he had body armor

I fucking said I shot the guy near 8 times in the head

The other day I was playing on a server and went to kill a suspected traitor with a pistol. Sadly, it took me 8 shots to killed him, most directly to the head. After that I had around 20 health left, so it was quite a bummer of a game. I suggest: 1) Increased pistol damage or 2) Increased Rate of fire. Otherwise the pistol is a completely useless weapon and you might as well play with a crowbar.
