Shooting in to a shield

Post » Wed Jun 12, 2013 8:51 am

It is possible to shoot someone true a shield ? Not a head shot , to shoot in to a shield and do damage to the player who hold the shield. I ask becouse happen to me today to be shot holding a shiel . Its the first time happening to me something like this and don't explain myself haw is possible. I use shield quite much , especialy in hunter mode , and was alweis verry effective until today. I found miself dead several times today shielding up .

Edit : video with what happen :

I killed many people and many people killed me this way. I don't know this is a bug or ping thing, but it sometimes happens.

No , no back shoot , frontal shoot , clear frontal shoot . I'm preparing a video with 2 killcam replay , one medium distance and one clouse distance , but bouth are clearly frontal shot.

I killed many people and many people killed me this way. I don't know
this is a bug or ping thing, but it sometimes happens.

In 160h game never happen to me. My ping was around 100 , the other was around 80 , so not hy ping or big diferences. Was no lag in server and gameplay was verry good. If is a bug is something i never see...

P.S. i know headshots are possible becouse shield don't cover 100% of head but cover 100% of body in frontal atacks.

Stuntman is a good player, if u notice in the first kill he was shooting through the glass part of the shield and in the second kill he tried to get behind u but he ended up shooting you in the head\upper chest. Shield can only assorb a fixed amount of damage, so after few hits some bullets will reach u. When u are using a shield basically u leave only one spot to hit, guess what it is :D

Would be great if you could headshot someone through that glass with the DSG. :(

I don't want to upload full video , definetly is not a head shot. None of them. I have planty of video and i can show you when 4 enemy shoot at my shield and no damage is taken , maybe more of 100 front shots videos where i don't take no damage. So i found it a new thing to be shot across a shield. I don't know stuntman and don't know haw good it is , but we can make a test and take a shield . Let's see haw big is the amount of damage a shield can take from a frontal shot. From what i know frontal shots don't do damage true shields. If this was changed in the last patch i will like to know it. If is a bug i will like to know it as well.
In first dead i was hurt by a granade so can be a ping/delay of server , maybe he shoot first that i cover with shield. But look good at second death (the hydrodam) . I was in corner and see him cloacked , see his shadow on the ground . He is doing damage from the first shot , first to jump.

I've killed a lot of people this way, also been killed like that aswell. Wouldn't really know the reason other than the ping but most of the times the ping is okay. It's also possible to kill a player who's weilding a shield by shooting them in the hands. Done that quite a few times :b

It can be very inconsistent depending on the ping, I've had cases were I wouldn't kill a person that way, but most of the times I aimed for the hands it would be a killing blow.
