Yeah, it's pretty clearly #2. The game trusts each player's system to know where that player was and where they were shooting. In more traditional client/host PvP games, the game only trusts the host system. Personally, I think that's a better model, though I think a middle ground could be found if there was some sort of metadata of "how much can I trust this player" that would allow the host to offload some percentage of the computational work to other, trustworthy systems.
