    Would take a while to code so that it could choose the player who did the finall kill.

    Not possible to code, either that or it would take too longer to code.

    Does not really matter because it might lag the game for those players who have bad connection. Armor stands might lag them.

    The code is real
    Also, this would force players to use 1.8, wouldn't it?

    If the kill cam was vide able then it would take forever and it will waste and may lag the server a bit after a tactical nuke or something.

    Difficult to develop.
    Anyway, how would they work? When would they be played at?

    No real point in having that. You wanna see a final kill cam? Be great at McWar, record yourself getting the last kill. Watch it 50 times. Rinse and repeat.

    This is quite funny actually but wouldn't it spawn a zombie each time for a separate replay ... ?

    I suppose he wants them to be similar to how they are in CoD, although this would be hard to code even with 1.8 and using NPCs for the killcams.

    It's possible to code.
    The way it will work is that the server records every packet that it recieves/sends from/to the players. Then you need to jump back a few seconds before the kill and play it again to the player while teleporting him according to his position and yaw/pitch before the kill. To code this is going to take some time and it wouldn't work with 70 players jumping around and shooting hundrets of snowballs, however this would be possible with a small group of players. The killcam would still look a bit derpy...
    Of corse this could be optimized to the point where only player movement, rotation and interractions get recorded with a timestamp and when playing it again the gun plug-in should just as act as this is a normal match, but I don't know how good this will work.

    EDIT: When playing the (final)kill cam, the other "players" are fake player entities.

    And this won't work as a kill cam, because it doesn't record player interractions..
