Maybe you shouldn't look at it as how it's unfair to you, the unknowing hittee.
How about this: you shoot someone in the pack/hopper/whatever; that player doesn't know he's been hit and continues to play as if nothing happened. Do you think it's fair that you legitimately eliminated a player but he continued to stay in the game for a while until a ref noticed the hit, or should something be done to balance the situation?
Or are you OK with players you shoot not leaving the field when they get hit?
