Sniping doesn't register hit

I wanted to know what causes this.I get a headshot like I normally would, However in some occassions, I shoot them in the head and no damage occurs. It is even showing blood on their faces and doesn't register the hit. My connections is good and dandy so what causes this?

What was he wearing?

Darwin's Danger Shield (part of "The Croc-o-Style Kit")

Item Set Bonus:
The wearer cannot be killed by headshots

Or if you see someone with Ol' Snaggletooth (The Crocodile hat), don't headshot. Just don't. Useless, he won't be killed by any other thing than Body shots, as DarkCrystalMethod pointed out here.

I know about the snaggletooth's no headshot kill perk, that is an exception. I'm focusing more on shots that does not register damage. Snaggletooth or people surviving headshots, I know about those already.

Oh, then I know what you mean, I have had a couple of those. The hits get registered, but don't displayed, if it is the text damage you think of.

It means that when you shoot someone in the face...nothing happens...no shouting pain or that ding sound or the damage you inflicted appears...even if there is blood decal on their faces, it goes on as if I missed a shot.
