Apparently I sometimes don't do any damage when I shoot enemies.
It is annoying, especially when I counter snipe. |

Update:
Yep, just shot one guy 6-7 times and no damages, just a shield glow. |

Known issues. One of several actually.
Shield glows but no damage could be hit detection problem. Move over a bit and try to hit a different spot on the target. Sometimes the target is covered when it doesn't appear to be. Even moving a pixel has helped.
Another one is what is your distance while counter sniping? Now which Sniper Rifle are you using. Most have 599 meter range while the Farsight has 1000 meter range. Each Light Weapon Sharpshooter Skill level adds 5% to those numbers. Check the read out, make sure it says 100%, if is down below 10% you might as well throw the rocks. There are other distance mods as well, BTW. If you are new you haven't gotten to the yet.
Finally did your sighting dot turn orange? If it didn't then nothing else matters.
Okay, one more past finally. Snipers can see targets on the far side of a building or obstacle. If someone is giving you TacNet information it appears that they can be targeted when indeed they are not. The orange dot is the clue for those.
Not saying anything past the first one is related to your post but if you are playing sniper you should know be aware of them. |

It turned orange, the indicator was 100%, I killed the sniper next to him. I shot in several different places. None of them worked. Also I have been a sniper, noticed this problem on and off since beta started. |

Then he was probably under cover and you need to change your angle of attack. I have sometimes gotten puffs of debris from shooting terrain or buildings that looked enough like shield flashes to be potentially confusing.
KalOfTheRathi is correct that you can target through obstacles that you can't shoot through, especially if someone else can also see the target (TacNet feed). He is also correct that sometimes the target is "visible" to you, but you are not aiming at the part that is actually hittable.
One trick that I saw elsewhere that has worked for me is targeting just under the red chevron. It sometimes scores a headshot even when I think I can't see their head. This is either a broken targeting system or the system actually using bullet drop.

Could be a bad bullet angle on the shields and the shields deflected the round... |
