Currently, view-position and shoot-position are coupled together and calculated by Unit_GetHeadPosition, which is correct for neither. The shoot-position should be where the bullets/projectiles originate, and the view position is where the camera you see through is located.
The shoot direction from the shoot pos is calculated, as far as I can tell, by:
Vector view_pos = ...;
Vector view_dir = ...;
// this may be overridden to an enemy pos if you're looking roughly at them i think
Vector aim_at = TraceFrom(view_pos, view_dir).HitPos;
Vector shoot_pos = ...;
Vector shoot_dir = (aim_at - shoot_pos).Normal();
This is what is responsible for all third-person weapons aiming too high, and, if it remains coupled, will cause a disparity between the calculated projectile impact time and actual projectile impact time. The larger the difference betwen view_pos and shoot_pos, the larger the disparity.
