I don't really care about the size of the hitbox. Because if it is roughly the size of the model's head, there is no problem. I want to know where the code determines where bullets go and how they hit something.
Is a hitbox a bounding sphere/box/poly and rays are shot from the weapon to determine if they intersect? That kind of stuff. There is randomness in the shot spread, so where is that randomness made? Valve-only code or is it buried in the SDK somewhere? That is the main question I have.

If so, this isn't exactly a good way to do it... But in any case, I'd wager that the main reason that many kills are headshots is because people aim for the head. It's not like there's an equal chance to hit any hitbox relative to the hitbox's size.
