Conclusions:
-The hit box is really on the shield.
-No difference in hip or ads firing.
-The shield is right infront of the point where you would want to aim for best spread use.
-but Headshots are possible[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=FireWorks;366526]Ok ill extend this list for every new question now, also rephrasing it :slight_smile:

Fact:
-The hit box is really only on the shield.
-No difference in hip or ads firing.
-The shield is right infront of the point where you would want to aim for best spread use.
-but Headshots are possible
-The shield protects you when sighting or hipfiring.
-You cant tell if your enemy is sighting or not.
-The shield only blocks bullets directly on the shield

Hope this sorts out some more misinterpretations[/QUOTE]

That totally explains why I still got headshot, when I was peaking around the corner with my shielded gun.

Interesting, I assumed it would have been implemented as a percentage damage reduction
But seeming not, good info, tyvm

I understand better now why it’s not on heavy guns like gotlung… they are held so low that it would not help much.

I does deflect a good amount of bullets when standing right infront of the guy. The ugly part is, it is right there on the upper chest where you want to aim usually.
