I don't understand headshot hitboxes

I’m gonna present an issue that I deal with in every single match I play and I hope someone can explain what’s going on

Using any of the precision weapons or the Magnum, I am fighting an enemy and aiming only at their head, so nothing else should be hit but their head when I shoot them. I get their shields off. I shoot them in the head again, but instead of killing them, I get a hit marker on them. My crosshair is directly on their head, yet I do not kill them (sometimes the shot misses entirely even though I’m aiming right at them

What is going on here? Where did my bullet hit them to give me a hit marker but not the kill? How can my bullet be pulled to another part of their body that isn’t even in the crosshair?

You are imagining things?

I’m certain I’m not imagining this after how many times it has happened. If it only appeared to happen a few times, I’d say maybe it was just me, but it’s crazy how many headshots aren’t registering as headshots or are missing entirely even though my aim was perfect

I wonder this same thing on Swat every time.

Never had anything like this noticeably happen to me. Perhaps it’s just your connection?
