I've noticed this lately and have always thought it was just because I was looking off to the side, or something to that effect... But I'm pretty sure it's actually because of the santa hat. You'll see I take a shot to the santa hat, which kills me in one hit. I was looking directly at the guy, it wasn't as if he had an angle past the shield. If you watch at .25 seconds, two of his shots even hit the metal, not my character, so it isn't the case of a latent gunfight. One shot, to the head, kills a blackbeard.

Xcel30 is correct in that cosmetics do not change the hitboxes of the operators, however it may make them more visible/easier to shoot. I watched the clip on 0.25x speed and it seems that his second shot may have hit the top of your head which was made more obvious by the hat. But that is only what I gathered from the clip!
