We certainly have hitbox issues with hull 3. The player type that uses hull 3 cannot duck, so that problem is eliminated. However, the hitboxes only appear to cover about 80% of the model size. They *appear* as normal if you do a r_drawentities 3, but the top, bottom and side 10% don't register any hits. Very bizarre.
