If your crosshair is on them when you fire, you hit them. Full stop. The game traces a line from your gun to the target with zero travel time, so there's nothing to lead and nothing to dodge. The opposite of projectile weapons.

Technically a programming term that gamers adopted whole. Hitscan beats movement; projectile rewards prediction. Most aim-heavy heroes and rifles are hitscan.
