I still have problems with some weapons registering hitting myself. It's not exclusive to the PPC, but they seem to somehow be more notorious for it.
For example, I can 100% reporduce a hit reg error when if I hit a target with any PPFLD (I don't know why, but ACs and even other PPC bolts) just moments before hitting with my PPC, the shot will do nothing. I've also been able to observe with 100% reproduction another hit reg error when using my Dual AC5 and Dual AC2 builds where every second bullet on the AC5 will not register and every third bullet on the AC2s seems to fail to damage. (People have told me this is an updating of damage issue and that the damage does actually apply, but every test I've done has indicated that the damage doesn't apply and just disappears.)
I've also seen weapon's fire go clean through targets to explode against the area behind the target, typically at close "I can't miss" ranges... so I am not sure what is up with that. I've also noticed when using ACs (particularly AC2s it seems) I have to lead farther to get registered hits (visually and in game) than when I'm leading a target on the outer extents of the weapons range (which is weird and I can't explain it, but that's what I experience). (This was as of my last testing of the build. I have not played the build in some time because it continues to do this to my knowledge. Even my single AC5 and AC2 combo does this.)
So when people discuss hit reg, I'm inclined to believe there may be "something" going on, even if I can't pinpoint it. Maybe it's our individual internet connections, packet loss, ping, HSR calculations going wonky, etc. I don't know. But something is afoot...
