I have a lil ... a big... problem... whenever i have a weapon mounted, and look up at something like 45 degrees, the weapon disappears, if i keep looking up to almost 80-90 degrees it appears again... anyone else experienced this?
Its really weird... and it sux =\

I get similar kinds of things (even worse when I shoot projectiles)

I thought it was maybe my buggy drivers. Maybe not tho.

Does the water disappear too?

I just added a waterblock to a map that does this. If I stand in one spot and rotate my view, the water appears then disappears. Related maybe?

Try increasing the bounding box values in your player datablock and see if that fixes it.

i found that it does this when you go below the water depth.
The water block has a Z scale (the depth of the water before you no longer are in the water block).
If you increase the Z scale from its default size as 1 to a much higher number, of just the maximum depth of your pond or what ever then it works fine
