Some weapons are just not registering or not applying proper alpha damage. This especially happens when trying to shoot a scout I've also noticed.
The weapons that seem to be effected are:
SMG-it just doesn't seem to hit anymore, hipfire or not.
Shotgun-was buggy in 1.7 and still is. Has the hardest time applying dmg to the new suits, I think it may be a hitbox problem. A max prof shotgun of any tier should also take away all shields on anything but a heavy. That is not the case.
Ion Pistol-i don't think I need to explain, but just in case anyone doesn't know, the weapon has horrible hit detection especially when aiming down sight.
Plasma cannon-still buggy, doesn't register proper dmg and now "ghost" like it when it was first introduced.
AR-fine vs everyone except the new scout suits. Should rip through shields, but that is not the case.
These are just my personal as assessments, has anybody else experience this, with these or any other weapons? I'm not talking about other bugs like the FG not firing off, just hit detection problems.
It really seems to happen most when trying to kill a min heavy or Cal scout.

Have you tried the breach? The Proto would rip should shields and armour, now it's like the shots aren't even hitting. It's not the prof nerf, because the 512 and STD SMG still work fine.
@Djinn Loki, yeah I've had this happen a lot as well.
Maybe it shoots tiny plasma cannon rounds? xD

So, for instance, all the hitscan weapons probably share the same "hit detection" code. They are therefore, probably all messed up right now, it's just more noticeable when using certain weapons because of the use case of the weapon.
In short, it's highly likely that hit detection is screwed across the board.
Seems possible, though I don't know how code works.
So I'll take your word for it at th very least.

Do you think they could correct it with a hot fix?
Or would this have to be in a patch?

Ouch, no chance of being fixed in the next week or so huh.
I remember IWS saying there would always be a level of hit detection and lag because of the way the severs communicate with each other. Don't remember why though...
