Bullet dropping or refunding is when the packets that contain the information for your shots are lost somewhere over the internet. The game refunds your bullets by giving you the lost shots back when you reload your gun. This can be seen in the BR when you have an amount of bullets left that isn't divisible by three.
It should be fixed. Isn't that obvious? Why would Bungie leave any flaw in a game?
Lag is a problem that exists in every game, and is a problem that cannot indefinately be fixed. People will just have to live with it.
I'm not entirely sure if this is correct, but I heard that each BR bullet is sent as one packet. I'm not sure if that's true, but if so, Bungie could optimize the web code to use less packets overall, and more duplicate packets so in case one is lost, others may still arrive at the destination.
Of course, I have no idea what I'm talking about.
