Need Help with Eye Tracking the Physgun Idle
Hi. Let me start by saying I can't post in the comments section for some reason, but I can start discussions. Here's hoping the mod author sees this.

I've encountered an issue that is not the addon's fault, but the Source engine's fault. For some ungodly reason, the animations for holding the physgun have the player bent over at a strange angle. When ragdolls track a face-to-face player holding the physgun, they look down and to the left, which is where the player's head is when holding the physgun; I hope you're understanding what I mean, because I'm not really describing it that well.

Would there be any suggestions as to how to deal with this? Again, not the addon's problem, but the Source engine's problem. I'm just asking if anyone knows of a way to get NPCs to look directly at you instead of off to the side.

I should quickly mention that this can easily be remedied by switching to any other weapon that has a more upright standing animation, so the issue is between this addon and the physgun - and by extent, I guess, the gravity gun since the two use the same idle animation.
