Are Fortnite Cosmetics Really Cosmetics Only???

I've noticed something concerning about damage dealt in Fortnite recently. Some players get the standard whole number damage levels according to shield, and health remaining while others have decimal points or fractions of point damage taken away when shot. At first I thought this was a player hack or a glitch, but the more I watched the instances where it happened the more I noticed that the higher ranked skins were used by the offending players. Possibly meaning that Epic Games has not been forthcoming about the nature of the cosmetics. While I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt I've yet to see a player get banned for being reported for it in the live feed. They are more than welcome to prove it otherwise via a comment here, or a public statement elsewhere, but whatever the case may be it's not looking good. Either players are hacking shield and health or Epic Games is knowingly selling game changing cosmetics in the guise of cosmetic only microtransactions.

If you follow me on Youtube you'll find some gameplay evidence of the decimal health/shield. My channel bares the same namesake as this blog, and can be easily found if you search for it in Youtube's search. If need be I can also capture some screenshots for further proof.
