Well, ET is sometimes a little bit buggy. Its even possible that "parts of your body" will look through the wall.
But its more likely that he shots you before you got behind the wall. You will notice a lot "around the corner shooting", too. Its no cheat or trick, just a server/client-connection thing (i think).

Maybe there was also just another sniper on the other side... :)

Btw: You can take a screenshot by typing "/screenshot" into the console. Demos are almost the same - just type "/record" and "/stoprecord". Maybe search a little bit here in the forum, you will find more detailed explanations.

Or maybe the wall was low or the sniper was somewhere high so he could see you and thus shoot you.

Or maybe it was Patsy's magic bullet from Worms World Party and homed into you O.o
Possibilities are almost limitless...
Anyway, mephir is right around here. If you even see a glimpse of a person behind corner, shooting just past the corner usually hits. Thats because ET hitboxes are bit off from the body. this means airspace around you is = you :O

I suggest you to read FAQ when you have problems with how to do something and something like recording.

welcom to enemy terrotory! :)

example:i live in estonia and other player live in usa and if i shot him, the info go to the server and then info go to the (usa) and same way to the back

shooting info :me->server-> other player->server-> me (see how long trip information do? dont wonder if ET act stragnely)

you runned behind a wall and server notice that you got hited (infomation was late) that why someone call this phantombullets

sometimes aim is in right place(perfectly in head) but bullets not hit
i call this bad day ! to play ET

OT (i use heaphones and i can hear that if you are behind a wall or are you left or righ side or behind me !dont call me wallhaxer)
