Bug Description

When a rocket is fired and it would hit you, you are gibed, and the rocket passes right over your giblets. Is this lag?

This is definitely lag related. What happens is that the rocket hits you on the server, and the server sends the command to gib you before your client registers the hit.
The solution would be to add sync for rockets, e.g. by sending a "fire" event with position, direction and speed when they are shot, and an "explode" event for when they are destroyed again.
