A few possible explanations:
-Rao actively hacking
-Rao 'passively' hacking
-Paik scan
-Mag dumping at a chokepoint + feeling for hitmarkers + luck
-Shooting at tracers/muzzleflash
-It's possible that at the fringes of smoke the opacity isn't exactly the same from all perspectives.

@CPU_UK Lol yes....I thought it was client side related, it's just frustrating trying to use it as a screen just to get mowed down---it's not Paik or Rao either usually Assault or Support class

  @Redrum331 So I shoot at moving red glowsticks in smoke. Their glow is only faint, you maybe need to be static to actually notice this, but I use it a lot, when I cover a choke point.
  Also, I am not sure, if friendly and opponent smoke work the same, especially in regards of thermal optics.
  Also I do shoot at every scope glare I spot in smoke. So if you try to shoot with a high magnification, stick with a hybrid scope, or stay below 4x magnification.
