is something wrong with the hit detection on shotguns?
i can run right up to people and pull the trigger and i know im aiming right at them and they just shoot the hell out of me and i die.
ive also noticed that with the pump action shotgun the bullets hit the people like 2 seconds after you pull the trigger which is odd and usually causes me to die.
might just be lag but im not sure.
anyone else experience this?

Some servers lag more than others. I have noticed it too. I don't mind it sometimes because in real life you have to lead your target also, (Deer Hunter). Lag will make it appear that your target is in front of you but may just actually be ahead of you.

yea i usually lead them if there moving.
but ive had it where i shoot my shotgun point blank (usually when i sneak up on a sniper) and they move AFTER i shot and the bullets just fly into the wall.
which is what really bugs me since ive also had it happen with people running towards me from about 10 ft away.

do u have steady aim on and yes its lag buudy

Not only does that sound liek lag, but remember, the shotguns have been made unrealistic. Their range is actually way too short compared to real shotguns in an attempt to make them more difficult to use.

Infact it sorta pisses me off that you cant hit someone from like 30 feet away, when a real shotgun can kill a man at this range no problem. You literally have to eb within about 10 feet to use em.

Ya. Lag is pretty bad when using shotguns. Ive learned to lead and move on after my shot. I almost always get the kill like 2 seconds after ive moved on from the target. Its important to keep moving after u pull the trigger, even if it doesnt register the kill right away. U hav to trust u got the kill. Becuz more times tehn not theres more then one opponent close 2 ya. And u hav to be fast.
