Lots of wrong things mentioned here.
The deflection window while swinging is very small, like 0.2-0.3 seconds mid way through the swings(typically around 0.5 seconds total), the deflection also only blocks certain hitboxes from certain angles. Upper chest, head, and right arm. Every where else can be shot.
The combo is not 'spam R' or anything like that as far as I'm aware unless it's a bug. You have to left mouse, R, right mouse. That's the combo, and there's plenty of downtime between swinging to get shot, as only a small window in each swing has the ability to deflect shots from certain angles that hit certain hitboxes. That window can be adjusted if needed though.
