DUST Search - Forge Gun splash damage not right?

This is not about buffing or nerfing anything about the forge gun. But more about clarifying or fixing what may not be correct. I'm a dedicated Forge Gunner and run my Ishukone 90% of the time. What I seem to notice is that the splash damage radius doesn't seem to be correct in shots at close range splash damage. I've shot at targets 10 ft away from while aiming at their feet and with no effect. 3 meters is a fairly large radius. 3 meters is 9 feet from the point of impact. But it appears to be more like 5 feet. At times it seems like you have to literally aim right below the targets feet just to achieve any splash damage at all. And not to mention hit vertical walls to splash an enemy.

I'd really like to know if either the description is incorrect, or the actual effect itself is not fully taking effect 100% of the time. Again, this is just a request to clarify or fix one of these whichever is the issue. Not a buff or nerf.

Splash damage ois broken across the game.

Missile turrets.
Mass Drivers.

The only one the seems to work is explosive greandes and remote explosives. Even flux doesn't do the splash they say they do.

What you are experiencing is not a splash range issue because sometimes it will deal damage within the correct radius, it is only sometimes that the splash doesn't hit. The issue here is hit detection, the splash is not being detected by the game. This is a bug from beta that we having asking for a fix for sometime. This happens to every weapon but weapona that shoot slower feel the most from this.

FLaylocks seem to work well however. Flaylocks have the same issues. I've seen it myself. I think the reason that Flaylocks seem less affected is they have a small splash radius to begin with, so there's less WTF moments when splash isn't applied.
