apparently the seagull's barriers are up to the very top of the map, not just about half and inch above and below the map... was trying to throw away a seagull (dont ask why), ended up hitting myself...it was weird. sees poops falling, but way above the map...then all of a sudden coming toward me oh noes
As arvidh said, its a feature of the weapon. I'm still surprised as to how few people use it or know about it lol.
