Projectile size. Does size matter?

[DragonRider]

This might be somewhat hard to explain.

I have notised that some projectile effects are bigger or smaller than others.
For example:

Heavy Flashpoint


Bomber Energy Turret


Clearly, the bomber projectile effect is bigger is size compared to the Flashpoint.

My question is: Are the projectiles different is size or just the effect?
What do I mean?

Does the bigger projectile have a bigger "hitbox" ? (excuse me if I'm using the term hitbox wrong here)
And what do I mean by THAT?
Does a bigger projectile have a bigger chance of hitting a small target, simply because if the projectiles's size?

Let me give a example.

Lets say you fire a single Heavy Flashpoint at a Eagle's wing. The eagle moves a bit up, and because the Flashpoint's projectile is so small - it misses.

Now you fire a Bomber Energy Blaster at the same Eagle's wing. The eagle moves a bit up. But this time the edge of the bomber blaster hits the wing (because the projectile effect is bigger).

Can this happen or not?
Does the projectile size matter?

A good example were the old massive BS mortars:
While they look big, they still needed to be aimed perfectly, since the size of the projectile simply does not matter.

(EDIT: gunsize matters though |8 )

To answer your question in a serious manner: No it does not.

All projectile's hitbox sizes are the same, even if their "effect" is larger.

Every projectile has the size of one (1) pixel.

Okay. Thank you!

The reason why I ask this is because I think I'm hitting people easier with debs than with Flashpoint. But probably thats just me.
