Normally when you take a frontal headshot like that (it was a headshot right?) normally the blood splatter would come from the back right? So why did so much of it splatter forward?
Is it because it's a laser?

Thing is he was hit with a 20 - 55+ mm round, not a 9mm - 308 cal. Rounds like that are designed against armor and fire at very high velocities. The depiction of blood in cockpit is probably not accurate, because these ammunition are armor-piercing. It will certainly go through the human body, but it'd do so in such blazing speed that the victim wouldn't even know there is a big hole in the chest until it was too late. Blood would unlikely splatter forward, it'd be sucked to the rear. In order for that body to splatter like that, the round would actually have to lodge in your body and
then explode.
Of course if he was hit by a beam weapon, then there wouldn't be blood, because they would have been burnt away and evaporated.
