Yeah, so... (Destiny)

I noticed back in September that the headshot perks associated with The Chaperon would also apply to your primary weapon once triggered. I don't have a Sniper with Triple Tap, but I know my Hung Jury will proc Triple Tap even if I miss a bunch of shots in between crit hits... as long as the crits are within a second or two of each other. So
it's conceivable that you hit enough crits with your Mida before switching to the sniper to get the perk to proc. Of course, that's working under the assumption that the time you spent dead didn't factor into the time between shots needed to activate the perk.

So what I'm getting from this conversation is that Triple Tap is totally broken. ;)

I downloaded that video so I could step through it. First encounter: 4 seconds, 3 body shots, one miss, all with MIDA. I die, respawn 5 seconds later.

Second encounter: 2 MIDA misses (I was shooting blindly based on radar, and hitting trees), then I switch to my sniper. I was unsure whether I'd taken a shot or not, but I had the same number of bullets after I respawned (the second time), so the evidence says I didn't shoot. 5 seconds of shooting/aiming, 5 more seconds of death. Spawned again, looked around for 3 seconds, got SUPER lucky the golden gun shot missed me, shot.

So:

- 23 seconds (at least) between sniper shots
- 0 crit primary shots during the intervening time (6 shots total, 3 misses, 3 body shots)
- 13 seconds of alive time (at least) between sniper shots (or between crit shots of ANY kind)

If time figures into the Triple Tap proc algorithm, it's broken, by any measure. :)
