[BUG] "Ghost" bullets when firing single-shot guns

[minglee]

Anyone else running into a problem where shots for single-fire guns sometimes don't register? It would give a recoil, but there would be no sound or shot registered and ammo would be consumed. Happens fairly often for me, maybe about 1 in 7 shots and sometimes multiple shots in a row.

I've had runs where it would happen more often than others, and on the rare case not happen at all. I play with three others, and I'm the only one to have this problem.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Been in the game since launch only got worse in the most recent update, I've been complaining about this since October,it's not going to be fixed at this rate

Yes and it never happened once pre patch.

I've had it happen on the Belgian since the game's release, and it pretty much turned me off using it at all. I'll give it another go when the bug is fixed.

Yes, only after the Dec patch and with shotguns. I haven't tested any other gun but it happens 50% of my shots and only online. If I play offline it's fine.

Happens for me for every single gun type. Luckily i use rapid fire weapons so it just means a delay in a barrage but it does absolutely happen very often.

Yep same for me, slight delays sometimes on LMG, and sometimes 1 of the bullets in a 3 shot burst from an M16 doesn't fire either.

I don't wanna using any Shotgun since it's most affected by "ghost bullet"

It's pretty obvious when you run a low ROF gun like single shots and snipers. I get ghost bullets from the pheonix, and nearly all of the shotguns (yes including the AA) I have no idea what causes it.

i dont really care what a video game maker calls it. in gun world these terms have 2 different meanings so i don't think hurt for them to start using them correctly also. goes along with immersion also to have guns behave as realistically as possible.

Its a bug in a game so it doesn't matter what it's called. Besides... Unless you're saying a "blank" in real life makes literally ZERO noise or flash from the muzzle and gives recoil, you're wrong.
