The Dink Network

Apologies for off-topic, as this is more about missiles in general, but in this screenshot blue/red are dink.ini box/dot, and orange rectangles are expanded missile hitboxes. The arrow above the flattened barrel near the mouse cursor was newly in flight when this was taken, and as may be seen, it did not have a box/dot except for on its shadow below the barrel. The shot ended up hitting the bug despite visually passing above it suggesting that missile collision is determined by shadow box intersecting with sprite hitbox rather than the box of the missile itself doing it.

Have I been lied to my entire life about missile collision?
