Sometimes during a battle, there would be a small team fight, where i as a scout would be up at a vantage point popping heads, as usual, when suddenly, i can't seem to kill one of my targets. Try as i might, when i have perfect aim at a still target, some blue shield like things protect him. is this a skill of some sort? |

Sounds like a shield doing its job, Type-II heavy suit has higher base shields than other suits of its class |

The issue is hit detection. The "blue shield thing" is a generic indicator that the shield took damage, although no doubt the target's shield bar didn't move a millimetre. It will potentially be less of an issue next build. In the meantime, your best bet is to switch to a different target. Give the target immune to damage a few seconds, then return to them and you should be able to kill them.
Hit detection is exacerbated by scouts strafing, incidentally, so against those targets you are better off waiting until they stop strafing, or wait until they are strafing parallel to your line of fire. |

it may be installations:
installations, particularly objective hack points, have shields. Objective hack points have shields that extend beyond the actual structure itself. This can make fighting around them problematic, but also can affect sniping, where you will find that even though someone is in plain sight, they are clipping into the invisible shield and therefore cannot be shot from the angle you are firing from. |

There is also a glitch where anything you shoot from spot will flash blue but not take damage, if you move then return to perch hits should start causing damage again. |
