I still dont understand whats you think was odd/buggy in this situation. 9 shots with a R301 actually makes 126 dmg if all are bodyshots (9*14=126), so I think he actually landed 6 bodyshots + 3 legshots ((6*14) + (3*11) = 117. The R301 shots 13.5 rounds per second, so he only needed 9/13.5 = 0.67 seconds to land those 9 shots assuming he landed everything, which he probably didnt. You wrote yourself that he did that in a second? Well I think its totally plausible that a guy lands 9 out of 13.5 rounds with a R301 in one second, especially since you apparently were very close since you managed to land a full 121 dmg PK-shot on him in return.
The OP's point is that 117 + 36 > 150.
I now recall that these kinds of discrepancies can be explained by rounding errors; Apex tracks both damage & health to several decimal places, but the damage numbers shown in-game & on the summary screen round damage to the nearest whole number *per bullet*.
So, for instance, if you're hit by 11 bullet each dealing 13.5 damage, you'll take 148.5 damage. However the damage numbers & summary screen will both show 11x14 = 154 damage.

While I can't speak to your experience, I've certainly seen similar oddities where damage dealt exceeded possible health yet no knock occurred.
I can only conclude that the reported damage numbers (both during combat, and on the post-death summary screen) do not match up with actual damage registered on your opponent.
This isn't a new issue either; it's been around since the very beginning.
There's a particularly memorable & indisputable example somewhere on youtube, where someone fighting at the front of KC's Market hits the same target 3 times with the PK.
The damage numbers totalled in excess of 200, yet the opponent was not knocked.

Assuming that you both had full hp + full white shield, they did 117+36=153 dmg to you and you did 124 dmg with a Prowler to someone whos name starts with an "O" or maybe "G" etc and then 121 with the PK on a name starting with a "Y" , so he should have had 150-121= 29 which is pretty close to half his HP?

@TheJumpingJawa , I fully believe this it always seems to be the Pk and either a wraith, path or lifeline. I could understand if I missed but bro legit will get 11 on a pathfinder 3 times. Not this time but trust me when i say clips.

@Babbediboopi So I downed his Friend "O" Right then dropped from the roof Of VM then PK'd The Guy full Health Through a Window. It was a quick weapon swap then Y Was at the End of my shotgun I literally shot him once in the Time I shot him once he shot me 9 hits all headshots??? in one second?? We had the same shield a white body.

Yeah I had this crap happen to me once also where I did 206 damage and still no down, I even recorded it and looked back at it and it made no sense.
