The other player was seemingly having connection issues, and then their connection came back up. So they probably received a burst of all of the messages they hadn't received, including your shots from a laser.

This was on the "Angelus rabbit haunt" server last night, just a few minutes before I posted.
If it was another player's connection issues, that is strange--considering I had died at least once since I had the laser flag.
It took me a few seconds to find a flag after I respawned, and the player who was shot was actively moving around the whole time. Then as soon as i grabbed a flag, he mysteriously died from a laser I didn't have.
And "Angelus rabbit hunt" has had serious lag issues when I have been on.
