Basically what can happen is players can easily become "out of sync" in JJ2. One might "see" the carrot fall, and another won't. This can happen for a lot of reasons, one being lag.
Another is the tendency for some weapons to be a bit "random", for example powered up bouncers: that randomness is shown differently on everyone's screen, and can knock down items. Though, only what the server "sees" is actually what can deal damage, which is one of the reasons why a single bullet will often not hurt you.
Finally, there's just the netcode itself.
I imagine fixing this problem would be pretty difficult, without simply making it impossible to shoot down carrots. And that would destroy the gameplay in a lot of levels. One suggestion that I have is that when you shoot them down, shoot it a bunch of times (even if you see it fall on the first one). Even better, use toasters. In theory, that should increase the chances of all the players "seeing" it happen.
