I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with the TFA Base, it's just GMod dropping shells within the worldspace that gives a weird perspective when alongside the viewmodels.

these casings are part of tfa base though and ive been using tfa for years and ive never had an issue like this

different fovs of the viewmodels and the positioning of the shell ejection can contribute to it. it's more of a weapon issue than a base issue.

makes sense, i just dont know why im noticing all of a sudden when ive been using these same guns for years

ive also run into a few that have smaller/ more accurate sized casings but i dont know if those are the default/original size or the the bigger ones that made me start this discussion in the first place

i want to say the smaller size is what i remember

Not sure if that is source doing a randomization on the size or the settings of the particles. I have no knowledge on addon particle stuff though, so I can't really provide that much insight on the issue other than what I already know about source jank.
