I was pointing the camping rifle at a bot's head unzoomed.
Every time I shot the primary fire, I heard a damage indicator and a voice saying "Headshot".
When I zoomed in on the exact same spot on his head from the exact same distance and angle and shot the primary fire, there was no damage indicator or headshot voice.
It appears the bullet behaves differently when it is fired with the player using zoom than without the player using zoom.
I don't know if that's a bug or not, so I posted here.

When zoomed it goes exactly where your crosshair is (well... kinda, there is bullet drop etc).
When unzoomed it behaves diffrently (shooting from the hip I guess).
This is the same with all nexuiz weapons IIRC.

Ballistics is so confusing...
I agree, it's basically a black box. All we know is that it is there, and it modifies the path of MG/CR bullets somehow.
ATM I can't hit shit with ballsitic weapons on long-ish ranges, but maybe it's just me
quit for good

This has NOTHING to do with ballistics. It has to do with retarded player models.

1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again
You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

Yes, but the top of the head is not always the headshot hitbox.
Yes, the models DO suck.
