I've noticed, I've gotten about a half a dozen head shots in the past week because of CL-UAC/20. The first 1 or 2, I was like "hmm, I got lucky" but then I noticed in a match where someone was flaming another player for using a script. I had already died and I was able to spectate. He too was using a CL-UAC/20. I guess it's because of the multiple projectiles. Well, I decided to test for myself and surely enough if I could aim anywhere in the general area of the cockpit, I would do damage, Once it was open, I could just tap once and it would head shot them. I'm currently going to go into some matches and will try and get a video.

Now, I will note that it's not a fool proof way to get a head shot but I feel as tho there's something wrong with being able to precisely aim for a cockpit with Dual Gauss and not being able to register the hit on an unmoving mech, yet I can just spray CL-UAC/20s and almost guarantee a quick head shot.

Wait are you saying 1 pellet of the cUAC20 will insta kill a mech if it hits the head hitbox? that doesn't make much sense as head armor is 18 on all mechs.

Did you read every other word of the post or word for word?

It looks like you are suggesting the cUAC20 projectiles are too big and are impacting areas instead of points, making it much easier to tag the head hitbox. If true, then this could open a whole can of worms and PGI needs to look into it right quick.

Like I said, it's a weapon I use regularly and after noticing several people mention that I'm using hacks and then spectating someone else and see that they were also getting extremely lucky. I honestly feel it's something that needs to be looked at. While it is fun to get these head shots, I don't feel it is fair. I could be wrong but it just happened far too often for me ignore it. I got 3 in 1 match and someone said "nice shot" from the enemy team and then the 2nd I got a "wow" and then the third, everyone was very suspicious.
