Here is a situation where I shot an entire 28 round clip on a wraith, but only managed to do 120 dmg. Her legs and feet were never in my line of sight so there could only be body and headshots. In this example, I will assume that all my shots were body shots to be on the safe side. I did 120 dmg in total, just barely cracked her purple armor. Wraith takes 14*1.05= 15 dmg per body shot from a R301 which means that the server registered and accepted 120/15 = 8 out of 28 possible hits.
I would usually not have suspected anything weird in this situation and just thought "damn I really suck at this game, why do I miss so much?". But in this case I really felt that I hit more than 8 shots and was really surprised by the result.
So here is the situation, first in real time then in SLOMO. If you just use your ears and count the number of times the game make the high pitched sound that indicates a client sided hit on armor, then I count it to at least 11, maybe even 13 hits on just her shield, and undoubtedly more than 8.. I wonder how much this game is * us without us realizing it.
Ps. my own ping is usually 20-25 ping

The worst part is, in your slowed portion you can see a few rounds "hit" the Wraith's elbow despite the round itself being no where near the enemy player model. It's pretty bad how awful their servers are, and I gotta say, thanks for providing solid proof of how awful they are.
Edit: You actually only fired 24 rounds on target, you reload at 3 rounds in the mag, and the last round went off target. So in reality of about 24 rounds (as far as I could tell at least 90% hit) you only got 8/24 to register, which is a 33% registration rate! Glad to know approximately 66% of our magazines go straight to waste.

@Babbediboopiam i the only one seeing that you dont hit the wraith with many shots? you cant see where you shoot the bullets half the time because of the light effects, but i see many bullets fly past the wraith when your crosshair is not really on the wraith.first two on the left side of wraith, than 3 on the right side... after that you cant see where your shots going, all too bright, sometimes you cant even see where the wraith is exactly.... what you seem to miss is that you did 150dmg. at 30 the dmg counter resets and starts new. so 120+30. makes it 10 shots. the armor cracks at 75. i think your teammate didnt hit anything xD

Yes, my bad, I did hit 30 + 120 = 10 hits. But I dont base my arguments on the visuals since its very hard to see exactly whats going on because of the muzzle flash just like you said. I base it all on the client sided hit sound that indicates I hit armor. I count 13-14 hits both with my ears and when I look at the wave-form since they are quite easy to detected there. That doesnt even make sense in the first place since the armor SHOULD break the 7th shot.
Isnt that what the whole hit reg problem is all about? You hear the "ping" sound that confirms a hit but the server doesn't recognize it as a hit.

The only thing that's certain, is that all 28 shots would've hit if the target had been a gibby.
Balance (or the lack thereof) is probably more important than the shiz hit reg, as at least the hit reg. is applied uniformly (ish).

Something definitely feels off about this game. Ever have one of those games where you just somehow land every shot and just melt people? Every so often it happens for me.
But anywhere here's one of my clips. It's not a hit reg issue but I just wanna show how good I am at ALMOST hitting my target

Gold barrel stabilizer and I hit like 2 bullets I think with an r301 at mid range yet they hit me for 108 I think it was with an r99. My bullets perfectly dance around them. I was so disgusted
