I also play hit and run scout, and i've found that the best way to bork hit detection is judicious use of sprint.
anyways, to add to the hit detection commentry, here's my little story :)
i play a shotgun/SMG scout fitting, lots of nice close range damage. With the militia SG, one hit is enough to kill a scout, 1-2 direct hits for an assault, and around 4 hits for a Heavy suit.
My favorite tactic during an Ambush map, is to range out wide of my teamies, in an attempt to flank the other team.
This nets me some nice kills, as the scout suit can get there fast, and get out again faster.
So over the course of an afternoon, I developed some friendly rivalries with a few other players, some times i was on their team and as i have a Remote Repair in my equipment slot, I am happy to keep them alive...
NATURALLY this changes when you are on different teams!!!!!
So aaany ways... when I'm not jumping over railings and aiming a shotgun at some poor SoB's head, as I come screaming back to earth, I can usually be found trying to sneak up on said same plebs ass.. oop i mean Kitten.
And this is where the hit detection comes into it.... a shotgun at close/point blank range is a shield and armor shredding doom monger.
Now as used as i am to this notion, you might imagine the consternation, the confusion, my poor battered Merc feels, when upon emptying the entire clip of an Assault Shot Gun at well nigh on point blank range (that would be 8 rounds  from a few metres away) into a Heavies damn slow ass ...oops i mean: Heavies Kitten slow Kitten, well you can imagine the surprise, when Not a single Round manages to find its way into his spleen, hellish!! And as that Heavy Suit Rockin' Hill Billy turned ....slowly... to watch me hurriedly reload whilst doing the Scout's Handbook Dance of Doomed Hit Detection, well you can imagine that i'd have settled for less then his spleen, lets say .... well.. ANY PART OF HIM AT ALL REALLY!!!...
Now at which point, whilst said same heavy unloaded a couple lazy rounds from HIS shotgun into my head completely ignoring my uber leet dancing skillz, you might take it upon yourself to imagine the possible lack of thought my brains experienced whilst traveling at unseemly speeds without the protection of a helmet...

Currently Hit detection is being calculated in real time by 1 million monkeys.
