Breach Scrambler Pistol bug

This has happened to me three times so far in the last 1.5 weeks, and I've been playing a lot, so it's really hard to replicate. Almost all of my suits have a breach scrambler pistol, and I use it a lot so this is pretty uncommon. What happens is I run up on somebody who is camping, de-cloak, switch to my breach scrambler pistol and start head-shotting them. Generally this works fine, but whenever it takes ~3 or more shots my aim gets hijacked and starts going crazy. I end up staring at the sky or the floor spinning circles and there's almost nothing I can do. If I switch weapons it goes back to normal instantly, and then returns when I bring the pistol back out. It's happened on at least two different suits, one was tac sniper/breach scrambler pistol, the other was toxin smg/breach (both with cloaks), the third I don't remember for sure what suit I was wearing. If there are any other details that you need, just let me know and I'll try to remember.

Deactivate auto-aim.

And yeah, like Django Quik said, the breach scram is pretty good. It's fun getting the occasional one shot kill from 30 meters with a pistol.
Niccolo deLuce Savage Bullet 39	Posted - 2014.04.16 01:27:00 - [3] - Quote Bringing this back up since it happened twice again yesterday, but this time with a combat rifle. Tinfoil hat time... This seems like a really terribly implemented anti-aimbot. I'll try to test it today but I can't stack the other team to let me try. Whenever I fire a lot of shots in quick succession with zero missing their targets, this happens. Yesterday it was with equipment both times. Red team threw down 30+ pieces of equipment and then ran off, I sprinted around and destroyed about 8 in maybe 3 seconds without missing one shot before my aim got hijacked. Same situation both times.

I know because I am using a GIMX adapter and see this kind of behaviour when I do mouse calibration of the deadzone. Sounds plausible, I don't have any experience with working with that. Anyways, bumping the thread again and submitting a ticket because it's happened to me 5 times TODAY and cost me a suit every time.
Niccolo deLuce Savage Bullet 39	Posted - 2014.04.19 17:10:00 - [6] - Quote And again. That's about 10 times in the last 2 days now. Laser Rifle this time It continues to spin as long as my clone isn't terminated as well.

Your posts and videos are very helpful. We are looking into this. I have one question: Does it always happen with M+KB? or it appears with PS3 controller as well? Thanks:) Cool, thanks for the response. The only times I use the DS3 are driving/flying/swarms/stuff like that, so this only happens for me with the M+KB. I wish I had a way to capture gameplay, but for now all I can do is grab a camera once something starts happening, so I can't get a video of whatever is going on that triggers it.

You can fight against it similar to sniper scope sway, but it does not cancel it out at all and it continues with that behavior for a few minutes or until death.

I've tested it and gotten it to happen with aim assist off and on. I use M/KB as well. Yeah, as posted in the followups to the OP it's not just the scrambler pistol, but it was only the scrambler pistol at the time of me posting. Since then it's been every light and sidearm weapon that I've used, with the exception of swarms because as other people have pointed out, I think it might be related to aiming down the sights.
