This little bit of information is from the 2.6.0.1 patch notes. Here's what it says about Crimson...
[quote]Crimson
Damage changed to 19/30.5 base/precision (Previously 13.76/24.75)
Fixed an issue that was causing this weapon to deal higher flinch than intended[/quote]
Now look at this line.

What happened to that? How come every time I get into a primary gun fight against a Crimson, my aim still gets knocked towards every other part of my view other than my target? You might've saw my post that basically implied that I was really enjoying a Valakadyn recently. That's true, until I come up against a Crimson. I can't aim any gun at them when it shoots me. You'll see a lot of Crimson in Rumble and Survival. Unless you're using a special weapon or you're already in their face, you just get deleted.
By itself, the Crimson is pretty fair. But once you put on a helmet with normal or Enhanced Hand Cannon Targeting, it turns primary fights into surprise attacks.
Is this a bug or was it not implemented correctly during that patch? And what are you supposed to do to combat it? 'Use a special weapon' should not be the solution, especially since Crimson is just a primary and I'm trying to get my Luna's Howl kills in Survival done.

I agree, can barely win gunfights against crimson with people who have hand cannon targeting it's really annoying.
