Just a little brain exercise :)

Assuming both shots would be an instant kill, A has a lower ping, and B has a faster reaction time (A's - 10 for now)

Player A ping - ms

Player B ping - ms

0 ms - A and B come into sight of each other at same time, on server's end

ms - A sees B on their end, takes ms to react

ms - B sees A on their end, takes ms to react

ms - A clicks and shoots at B, hears their own gun fire, etc

ms - B clicks and shoots at A, hears their own gun fire, etc but has no indication that A shot at them too

ms - A's input reaches the server, B dies on the server's end

ms - A is told that they killed B

ms - B's input reaches the server, but they're already dead in the server's eyes, so A does not take any damage

ms - Info reaches B that they were killed by A while not doing any damage to them
