So literally the guy getting shot would be hit by the bullet while seeing the flash about about the same time, gurgle a little and die and then 4 seconds later his buddies would be alerted to the gunshot.
So they would probably be dead or underfire before they heard the first gun shot, depending on the snipers speed.

Wouldn't you also hear the sonic boom of the bullet?
