I think there is an issue with emptying a clip into someone and missing, and it is not an issue with the player, per se, but with the code. You CAN empty a clip into someone without killing them, and without missing. At least, according to your crosshair you didn't miss. But the code says otherwise. This is why it is so bothersome to players.

I have decent aim and I know how to use controlled bursts of 2-3 shots, yet this has happened to me. If you are point blank, even if you hold the trigger on an smg the crosshair doesn't kick up THAT much, i.e. off the top of the screen, so that you would miss.

Another thread is discussing this as missing if you are too close. I think it only happens if you are very close, like point blank, to the target. It may have to do with the gun barrel being past the target.

If so, some players may not experience it much if their style is to keep more distance between themselves and the enemy. Personally, my style is to sneak up closer, so I have experienced it. If you have not experienced it, instead of insulting those who have, maybe you should consider whether you don't have as much experience as them.
