If I aim a shot at someone's shoulder normally it's fairly easy to tell it could be an arm or a chest shot depending on where I hit.
One of our players however is claiming every shot to that area is arm or head ALWAYS and never accepts any chest shots that come down vertically. Their reasoning is they shrug their shoulders up so there isn't enough gap between the outside of their arm, (as it rotates in to be horizontal instead of vertical) and their head to get a weapon in.
What is the ruling on this kind of shrug vs a shot coming down vertically beside the head?
EDIT:
Well the forum won't let me reply so I'll try to clarify here. We don't have any experienced marshals. I'm the realm leader and he's the 2nd closest we have to a marshal, (that is a major problem.)
I'm aiming at this region because I'm trying to get over his sheild. If i aim any lower i just hit sheild.
Ignoring for now the issue of him taking shots as you guys can't see it, is it possible to change a chest shot into an arm shot by rotating the shoulder up? I think the dividing line when your arms are at your side is supposed to be straight up from the edge of your torso, but where does the dividing line end up when your arm is straight out to the side? Does your "arm zone" now start halfway closer to your head, or is it still straight up from your torso?
