I'm not sure if this is intended or a bug but shooting a spy using the Dead Ringer in arena mode will give you the First Blood crit buff.

I wonder if it registers on the server as an actual kill - it could lead to messing up of the stats! |

I think it does; I got an achievement out of shanking Mama when he had it activated yesterday, even though I had to kill him again. The game seems to treat it as a kill, even though the other team don't see it.

Also while the description of the Dead Ringer specifies that it will activate upon a non-lethal hit, backstabbing a spy using it will not kill them.

It seems a cheap trick though, I've already seen spies dying "too quickly" - its almost obvious after falling for it the first couple of times? |

Well but as we get smarter so will the spies. They will wait a hit or two. Also knowing he's there isn't enough, catching him without a pyro or heavy right next to the dead body is pretty damn hard! |

It depends on right timing, if you let the enemy to shoot you once or twice before using the Dead Ringer then it would look like a normal death. But still if people know you using it and realize it when they kill you, they will get paranoid and it's better to get away from them far as possible. |
