@RootsGenoa Yeah definitely had to happen some time in the almost 30 years of history with the game, it's just now that we have clear evidence of it happening naturally.
It's not as common as it is in fighting games unless you play with time limit or other weapon sets.
@smoreon @RootsGenoa It's not a problem! The incredible thing is that for this to happen on a scenario as seen in the clip, both players must be on match point and shoot at the exact same frame. This is is extremely rare and it's the first recorded footage of it happening in an actual match.
This does not apply to Slappers Only or Explosives as the timing is much wider for those.
As for why this wasn't tested before... It was, I'm certain this has been done with a TAS or similar in the past - the wording on my tweet isn't great out of context because I did not expect it to be covered by news sites. The myth is more-so of it happening in a normal match during Netplay where the players are highly skilled on Pistols LTK. This is the first time of it happening in over 15 years of Netplay games, but we still had rules set in place in case of a tie happening during a tournament match.
