In fact it looks like the dummies leg just might be slightly out of cover on the Vantage shot.

If the vantage bullet is big enough to hit a target which it misses by that wide of a gap, the bullet should be big enough to deflect off of the wall before it hits the target. The fact that the bullet isn't stopped by the wall is proof of what I'm saying.

Vantage's bullet appears to have a larger hitbox in relation to hitting players than it does in relation to hitting cover. This is why it can pass through a tiny narrow gap, but still hit a player behind cover. This is the principle problem being reported in this thread.

I understand that the large hitbox of the bullet is by design. I can understand her shots hitting like this in an open area. But in a situation like this, if the bullet is big enough to hit the dummy despite being well wide of the target, the bullet's size should cause it to be stopped by the wall before it reaches the dummy.

The shot looks clean from what I can tell.
if the dummy was completely under cover and not soo much on the edge/slightly out of cover I might agree with you but this is way to close to call foul.

in fact it looks like the hit is on the leg that just might be just out of cover (razors edge here).
