Magnum shooting duds/ blanks

[CasusBelli 7]

I play magnum for main, and it shoots a lot of duds on both my Tanki accounts in steam/ browser. We are talking clear hits right on or right next to opponent, he is not newly spawned and I am not near/ after death. I see opponent visually being bumped by the hit, but there is no damage.  It varies how bad it is from time to time, from 1 in 5 shots to 1 in 30. Some angles and passage shots are worse than others, and some opponents also seem to be worse. I had three straight hits on an opponent in Wolfenstein map, none registered. 

I love the mechanics of magnum, but this really eats my soul. Especially those critical shots when a game or a point is in play. I read up on forum and understand this has been a problem for some time. Possibly related to some a cheat buster update? But I have NOT seen any affirmative replies from devs. I want answers:

Is this being worked on?

NB: some guy told me in public chat this was part of a nerf rollout as the magnum was considered OP. I refuse to believe this would be considered a solution, but please... Do enlighten us on the situation and prospect of this turret.

To my knowledge it is not an intentional feature. It is something that has been happening for a long time and happens with Gauss often as well. I hear devs constantly try to fix it and even go as far as to change Magnum parameters like splash damage and projectile speed to "experiment" with the effects. I don't know if there's a solution right now other than refreshing your game or clearing the game cache.

Its not a feature but probably caused by the server lag or even network issues.
