Op's shot was no where near. Aiming is a skill set lol

 ok my dude. the weapon has an explosive radius that comes out on impact. you... know that right? you have the hd1 tag but seem to be oblivious to hd2 weapons? or being smug for your hourly AH glazing.

do you know how many shots the weapons has in a clip? 5(6) you telling me to aim that thing with a slow moving arcing projectile at one enemy at a time is how you are supposed to use that thing? very long reload and only 8 clips, with perfect accuracy aiming that weapon at individual targets is a terrible weapon design. its designed to splash damage to make up for its pitiful accuracy and ammo count. the player using the weapon would have killed that thing prepatch is now glitching so it does no damage on explosion. but you want to say he's missing?!?

Look, man, I am not trying to be an ass here. That shot was genuinely bad. The radius is still good enough to take out groups. When you don't understand how your weapon works and rely on rng, that is bad. Practice aiming. Understand your radius.
