Noticed something highly amusing while raiding last night. (Destiny)

My guess would be that the firefly explosion's location gets assigned to the body of the enemy which died, but in those cases the body is already gone, having disappeared immediately upon death due to "exploding." And maybe if there's no enemy body to assign the firefly location to, it just defaults to the player character.

Would be interesting to see whether the explosion emanating from the player is capable of damaging enemies, or whether it's only the visual effect.
