Viewport Line Trace collision with odd camera angles

[LITFAMWOKE93]

In this video it shows how the ray being cast from our viewport can sometimes come into contact in a place that doesn’t make sense for our guns emitter.

Do we use a similar collision channel modification to detect things like this? Or is it better to use our viewport for aiming but make a second line trace that is actually casting from the gun?

I solved this by doing a dot product to determine if the hit makes sense, if it didn’t (e.g. hitting behind you) then I did another line trace from the muzzle of the gun straight forwards instead.
