Caitlyn's "Headshot" passive icon has an issue...

So do Piltovian guns work like a sort of ballista, launching the bullet, cartridge, and propellant all at the enemy? Or was this art done by someone who has never used a gun? Not trying to be rude, but I do think that it's a problem for realism.

EDIT: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Caitlyn forgot to add the link where I first noticed this, sorry

Hmm, yes, didn't notice that before, i suppose it's because i don't know guns and ammo's workings. But after all it's an honest mistake in my opinion; the artist was tasked with portraiting a flying bullet, it probably thought it would end up looking too much blank showing only the bullet as just a small part of the ammunition and not a whole, so he decided to make this "correction" which brought up this mistake. I would call it's more like a small "easter-egg" similar to Blitzcrank's Q icon, which shows the wrong hand grabbing while extending from the Steam Golem's body.

It's a game.

Maybe that actually doesn't show the bullet in flight, but the enhanced bullet in the chamber? I mean her gun does glow when the next shot is a headshot...

Well Caitlyns gun pretty much works on magic,so it would make sense that there are some differences.

I never noticed that. Well might get updated someday.
