Otherwise you do look like a sprayer prayer.

To add into that, when the NC missed a shot it was the whole pellet spread not one shot.
Not to say that missing a shot as TR wasn't damning either as the MCG had another .13 seconds on its TTK vs the JH and Lasher.
In any case we can agree bad netcode kills FPSes. I never noticed latency giving missed shots just delayed positions like dieing behind cover. Bad netcode, which Planet Side had, leads to missed shots all together.
