Title:

One big reason why shitreg happens​

Description:

Very commonly people appear to be holding their guns sideways or in weird poses. This is because the game is in a conflict about what the player is holding. For example, a person could be holding an AWP, but their model thinks they're holding a grenade, so their model is in the "Holding a grenade" pose, while also having an AWP in the hand.

This causes the players hitbox to be "Holding an AWP" as it should be, but the actual model is in the "Holding a grenade" pose, which instantly makes it impossible to headshot a person with this bug happening to them, because holding an AWP puts your head lower than a player holding a grenade.​

Reproduction Steps:

I don't know why people have their guns sticking out of their asses, but I think if that bug got solved, the hitboxes would be way more consistent.​

Pretty much what I explained above. Bambi is holding an awp, but his model thinks he's holding a grenade, so there's a mixup between the hitbox and the model.​

I deployed a change that attempts to fix this issue. Please report here if you notice this happen again.

I’m still seeing some wonky poses when holding guns. Like the occasional “gangster” desert eagle that is held horizontally. Not sure if that’s client-side or not but it definitely is strange. (The first-person pose is always working as intended but when looking at other players they sometimes have weird ways of holding weapons.)
