The longer I play the more apparent this is - the Storm Spiker projectile collision box is completely wonky for how much damage it does.
Even if you put a whole clip down the line - you can still miss it even though visually to the player it is huge.
I can headshot a grunt from 50m away with a pistol using iron sights but - hitting a storm projectile is insane in comparison.
I feel like it is bad enough that it feels like a bug.
I consider it a Visual FX bug - the collisoin box should be as big as the projectile - so the visual of the projectile matches the collisions for it.
