What can Genji deflect?

According to the Genji Gamepedia page, Reflect's ability is:

With lightning-quick swipes of his sword, Genji reflects an oncoming projectile and sends it rebounding towards his opponent.

It's not exactly clear what this means. Does this mean that reflect can only reflect non-hitscan projectiles? Or can he also deflect hitscan projectiles such as S76's Pulse Rifle bullets or Widowmaker's shots? Can he also reflect Ultimates such as Roadhog's Whole Hog or Hanzo's Dragonstrike?

From the evidence in this video, he can reflect pretty much any projectile except beams like Zarya beam, Winston lightning, Junkrat steel trap, and Mei frost, and Symmetra regular fire.

Therefore he can deflect hitscan and non-hitscan shots, as well as many ultimates, including Roadhog's and Hanzo's. When blocking Hanzo's ult, he can reflect the dragons as well as the arrow shot.

After the release of Ana, the projectiles he can deflect now include an un-scoped Biotic Rifle hit. Scoped hits and Nano Boost cannot be deflected (the damage is still prevented in the former instance). Source.

Can Genji deflect rein hammer?

But when he gets in close enough for Rein's hammer to be able to reach him, he can just use deflect and rein, who is supposed to have the advantage at close range, literally can't do anything to him. The Genji then gets to kite the rein out into the open and out of position with no consequences.

Genji can deflect the initial arrow if timed properly, and then it will spawn the dragons as though the Genji had launched them. The arrow itself still acts as an actual arrow and can headshot as well, until it transforms into the dragons at least.
