How do the specific bullet paths and hit boxes work?
I have been playing a good amount of CS GO recently and I noticed that sometimes players get kills while twitching their crosshair to the side (no hacks, I checked). I think it has something to do with the hotboxes and bullet paths. How is the bullet path created in relation to the Crosshair? Also, why do people die to head shots when the bullet visibly does not hit the player?

How do hit boxes work?
A hitbox is usually associated with some form of attack, and describes where that attack is effective. A hurtbox is usually associated with a character (or any other "hittable" object in your game). Whenever the two collide, we consider the attack to have "landed" and we apply its effect on the target.How do you read hitboxes?
Hitbox refers to the area that an attack has that is meant to do contact with the opponent's hurtbox. When it makes contact with the hurtbox the attack can either hit or be blocked. The hitbox (marked in red) is the area hits the opponent if they touch it.How do hitboxes work in fighting games?
Basically, a hit box is an area (either 2D or 3D, depending on the game) that is defined by the developer. A lot of shooters will have shot animations that show where the character's (either player character or non-player character, abrieviated as PC and NPC respectively) shots go.How Collisions Work in Games
