Will have to be fixed outside the engine obviously.
## Fluff: Gluon: There's supposed to be a sprite that hits the wall.
FreeHL has it. Go copy that.
## Fluff: Gauss: Doesn't use the dedicated decals.

You'll be able to see the cut Silenced Glock for a split second. Tthe animation gets swapped before the model gets exchanged and the bodygroup swapped.
