Ever had the gun recoil before the shot was fired? (Destiny)

Last night, I had a baffling moment where I was certain I two body shot sniped a guy. I was so baffled I was immediately riddled with bullets from a MIDA and died.

If you watch the clip, first shot hits him in the chest and then freeze it ~21 seconds. I wish there was an indicator to show when I pulled the trigger, but I pulled it while the reticule was in the middle of his chest, and in the very next frame you see my bullet trail many feet over his head and my reticule up and to the left. Only explanation I have is that the recoil occurred before the bullet got down the tube, but somehow this happened in a digital world. Anyone else got any ideas or should I just accept that I'm bad at this? Or both? :)
