Award the player who makes the head shot (+ assist bonus for final blow)

Currently if you head shot an enemy, it won't count as your kill if someone else shoots it before it dies. It's really annoying to decapitate some powerful enemies only to have some other player steal the kill and thus the money from you, especially if you've taken some damage from this.

I propose the kill be awarded to the player who performed the head shot.

I also propose a system whereby players can be awarded a minor amount for actually landing the finishing blow after an enemy has been decapitated. After all, specimens can still be dangerous without a head, and a good team mate will help you out by taking him down. Giving a small bonus to those who do this will be more of an incentive to help take down enemies that are threatening other players. Of course, the amount of money that you get from this should also depend on the type of specimen, similar to regular kills.

This assist bonus should be awarded to the player that actually kills the specimen, rather than the specimen dying simply from bleeding out after already being shot by another player.
