The size of your gun matters (Destiny)

I thought the way it was implemented was that in all Bungie FPSs (and maybe FPSs in general), bullets actually come out of your face because otherwise there would be a confusing difference between what you can see and what you can shoot. If that's the case, it's hard to understand how the size of the gun model would have an effect.

I think (and looking over video seems to confirm) that Destiny makes them actually fire from the gun muzzles. Likely because there's all the stuff that can alter the firing line of a gun (like being shot makes it jump etc) that the Halo system probably would have looked even weirder.

But my guess is this likely a bug because until this point, whatever determines where the muzzle of a gun is was more or less a cosmetic data entry when building a gun model, and since it never changed it was set up around whereever it fired from, but now that ornaments have really become a thing, this bug hasn't cropped up until now.
