That's one shot fired, you can see the shot impact occured far, far ahead of the light that was hit. The performance was similar to the plasma in regards to a standing target. What I did was, after figuring out what was basically the farthest away I could aim from a standing unit and hit with plasma, after killing them and letting them run back into position (ie: the first two pictures showing 'hit' and 'miss'), I cycled through whatever weapons I had equipped on all my different loadouts without changing my aim. The only weapon that consistently hit (that wasn't due to inaccuracy) was the silenced pistol. Given that the pistol has very high accuracy, the only way to explain it is because the hitbox for the bullet is massive. HOWEVER, the Rhino SMG was not far behind. In one of my setups, the Rhino was hitting the model with every shot, while no other SMG would (only with the odd glancing inaccurate shot). In most setups, the Rhino did not hit when fired whereas the SN7 pistol did, but in NO circumstances did any SMG make constant with bullets and the Rhino did not. Spinfusors have a high degree of hitbox accuracy, surprisingly. Disc projectiles are fairly 'large' in size visually, and in none of my setups did spinfusors impact the target in any unusual way. NOTE that I did not check all weapons.

You may find this interesting...

This shot will miss the target.

This shot will hit the target.

The hitbox is clearly generous, but not exceedingly so. However, once the target is in motion...

Just before impact (see glow on ground)...

Interestingly, I only found one other weapon in the game that behaves like this. Can you guess what it is?

It's the SN7.

The NJ5B has a recognizably orange projectile and deals 140 damage max.

Re: In case of plasma, stand still.

I figured it for the Inf's pistol. NJ5-B does 140, not 170.

Infiltrator's silenced pistol. That's one shot fired, you can see the shot impact occured far, far ahead of the light that was hit. The performance was similar to the plasma in regards to a standing target.

What I did was, after figuring out what was basically the farthest away I could aim from a standing unit and hit with plasma, after killing them and letting them run back into position (ie: the first two pictures showing 'hit' and 'miss'), I cycled through whatever weapons I had equipped on all my different loadouts without changing my aim.
