How does everybody shoot through the shield?

[Chris1984]

When I face it, NO CHANCE LANCE from the front. When I have it. good night, have fun!

every hit, hits ME. facing the enemy directly, not standing.

What am I doing wrong?

Makes about as much sense as the inability to hold the pistol in front of the shield when ironsighting as opposed to lowering it almost entirely leaving your upper torso naked from cover.

Ive seen someone shoot through the shield , but it takes some shooting , well OP imo.
Really you have to flank a shield bearer.

Sometimes I get killed with just a couple of bullets which seem to glitch through the shield. The enemie is inside a room a couple of meters away from a window and I am in standing position in front of the window, so there is no chance he could flank me or aim for the shoulder or smth. Just a few bullets and you insta die, I have no idea what this is, it's getting really annoying though.

I thought I read somewhere (another forums post from awhile ago) that you could shoot through the glass visor on shields (although it should be bulletproof glass).

[Fear Gingers]

you can shoot shield people in the shoulder sometimes legs. as well as this because of lag if you turn to face them there is a delay so they might shoot you in the side.

usually the arm is a weakspot. thats where im aiming at when i face a shielder. not easy of course but i know thats the only way to harm him.

use C4, but yea shooting the shield is a pain, if anything it should NOT allow the player to run

I saw a Montagne get mowed down from head on (with his shield extended) no way he was flanked at all. I'm pretty sure the the other guy was hacking though since he killed our entire team despite being shot multiple times (including a shotgun blast to the chest)

Ubi made an official announcement about what they are patching and they mentioned the network causing inconsistencies between the shield bearer being protected and how vulnerable he appears to the enemy.

Yes, shield hit detection issues are being patched in a mid-December update. https://www.reddit.com/r/Rainbow6/comments/3v6gw6/rainbow_six_siege_developer_ama_on_december_7th/

lag compensation. Basically your character turned on your screen but because of server lag it hasn't on the enemy's.

Thanks, it's good to know that developers and people in charge actually read these posts and are aware of these problems.

This is a reasonable explanation since I already encountered this playing with my friend in a custom game. He was turned to the side but told me he was looking straight at me.

I've seen headshots under full shield cover face-to-face. Just grab an SMG and spray a line across the top... 2 in 3 chance you'll hit air, which is also a headshot right now.
