Almost Perfect

I love the nice quality of life things done with the textures and it makes the game more alive. My one issue is the view sprites and raised a bit. The MA-75, rocket launcher, and napalm thrower is just fine as they are. But the fists, pistol, and fusion pistol have this weird thing where if I look all the way down and shoot. The kick raises the sprite so high that you can see where the sprite ends. This could be a simple fix by lowering the texture, probably. Overall, the plugin is really good.
