Clarification on Nemesis M2 Hitbox? Devs?

In this post I want to discuss how i think his hitbox works, let's go.

His M2 attack creates a rectangle that will contaminate/damage/destroy anyone who it collides with. This rectangle "respects" physics and can't go through objects, so it just continues where it can. Some pictures will help to understand:

The Hitbox of M2

----

The width of it is like 1-2 meters

-------

Any single Survivor within this rectangle will receive damage

-----

So what happens when the rectangle collides with something? I hear people saying you crouch behind windows and when apparently when his power looks like it should hit, it don't. It would look like this:

When the retangle will collide with some object, it will stop, there, if the rest can go through, it will until the range of power ends.

That explains why he can't hit Survivor through windows, because it will be like this:

-------

This is my bet. Remember when he could hit Survivors through the Killer shack gaps which was patched? It's the same gaps which Deathslinger and Trickster projectiles can go through, while also Nemesis M2 could too, because it was like this:

It stopped most of the object but parts of it would go through.

Also I see some inconsistences with it hitting through windows sometimes while I tested it. It looks like your "hitbox rectangle" will clip through the windows because you're too close to it, so the whole box will pass through, like this:

Is his power obvious how it works? I guess it is, but there's so much strange situations where it looks like something but it's not, so just to be sure, I wanna check it out.
