Umm... *double checks the video*... he missed. (Destiny)

His first shotgun blast is a good foot or two left of the character from a range where no spread would hit the guy. I'm not trying to be mean, but as someone who records almost every instance where I swear I hit a guy only to review the video and see I clearly missed, you gotta be honest about these things. I miss a lot more than I think I do, and I'm willing to bet so does everyone else.

Collision detection is probably one of the few things we can safely assume works correctly. The only way it wouldn't work is if one of the objects (bullet or character) isn't actually where they visibly appear, i.e. lag has them in a different location than the screen and thus the collision detection doesn't work as we would (visually) expect.
