Shielding Success Rates Mystery

My rumble clients are on a Core i7-3770 running Ubuntu 12.04 (32-bit), and I think OpenJDK 6 (will check when I get home). Now that you mention it, I recall a similarly huge discrepancy for the original BulletCatcher on an old AMD Ubuntu machine I was using as a rumble client (couldn't find the discussion though). I chalked it up to the different JVM or even the CPU and ended up just retiring the machine as a rumble client, since it was a fraction of my overall CPU power.

My first guess is that when two bullets are close enough to parallel, one JVM's Line2D says they intersect and another doesn't. I actually have Ubuntu 32-bit, 64-bit, and Windows 8 64-bit all on that same machine, so I should be able to do some decent tests for you with only the JVM or OS as a variable.
