Raycasts are apparently semi-broken and tend to randomly go straight through objects for no detectable reason. We encountered this problem in a multiplayer test server I hosted it on multiple times where one person could repeatedly fire at another person and have the raycast pass straight through the target and hit the object behind. Until thats fixed (which will be never) the raycast sniper is simply a great source of frustration and "omg hes hacking" for anyone who's that stupid.
