When a shield blocks more than 2 projectiles at the same time, there’s a rare chance one of them goes through the shield
Steps to reproduce:
Use a command to give yourself a crossbow with multishot (higher levels are more consistent)
Use another player to use a shield
Shoot that player with the cross bow
Expected Result:
Shield protects against all projectiles
Actual Result:
Projectile still hits the shielding player

I couldn't really reproduce this. In the video you attached, the shot that hit the player appears to have been taken slightly above the shield, at head height. Can you reproduce this issue consistently when aiming at the shield itself?

@foenichs The aiming of the crossbow shouldn’t matter since shield protection is based on a 180 degree radius in front of the shielding player, almost like a half cylinder covering their hitbox
Thus, projectiles should always be able to protect from a shot from the front which is not what happened here.
