And yet when I try to use a shotgun, I often fail to kill anybody with 3 shots, from what seems like an ever closer range. I know lag pays a part in this, but still doesn't make sense.
- Similarly for fusion rifles. At least I can get a few one shot kills, but from an in-your-face rage. But again, I seem to get one shot from 20-30ft away. From that distance, I can barely damage anybody with a fusion rifle.

Some of the shotgun sniping you're experiencing is definitely latency. They're further away on your screen when they shoot but are actually closer on theirs. Why it works like that who knows but you develop a sense of what the kill/danger ranges are when you use a shotgun enough.
Along with the fusion/shotgun range topic, some of those frustrations can be explained by weapon roll/user skill. What kind of shotgun are you using? Most people are running with a max range party crasher using aggressive ballistics for more impact. Fusions you really need to get a feel for recoil pattern/control. Been using them since the April patch and some of the longer range one shots are still hit/miss but that's probably as intended.
If you had some recorded footage I could probably get a better of what you're experiencing but I'm inclined to think that you're capable of the same things.
