Those first two points are the only things that count, the rest are all garbage complaints.
Why? Because of their speed, they can literally strafe THROUGH a gunfire stream. I tested this with a HMG on a strafing scout. he passed through the stream 4 times, and took 0 damage.
This gives the term "speed tanking" viability. Pair that up with the HP being the same and you have a character with an effective health of about 1000 from faulty bullet stream detection. Basically making their health on par with heavies if they try to evade.
This effect is a KNOWN bug, and used to affect Assault suits a good number of patches ago until the base speed of all suits were reduced. One used to be able to strafe into, or out of, a fight without taking damage.

Now that i would agree on but to intentionally cross throught it 4 times with 0 damage can't be true unless it was outside the optimal range of them hmg
I didn't believe it either until I actually tested it on the field. I found a guy who was stealth/KinKat, and started shooting at him with a HMG, he crossed the stream cause his Health data came up several times, (not the generic "suit data" but the name, which only happens if they pass through the center of the reticule), but his maximum shield wasn't touched at all. We were fighting around an allied supply depot, so full auto spray coverage was not an issue. He was able to swing in, hack the depot, then swing out and pepper away using cover.
The combat was within the 10-20m range.
