So to begin with i have been playing Guild Wars 2 since launch and i love it. But there was always one littlte issue i had with my Norn Male character, his rifle Animations seemed out of place. For all two handed Weapons there is a special Animation. But not for the Rifle, this is when running or walking.
I just accepted that as i thought this was the way Anet wanted to portray the Rifle Stance.
But recently i was looking closley at the other races and they all have a unique Rifle animation.

To Bring my Point Accros better i have made some Comparing screenshots.
The idle stance seems to be fine for the Male because compared to Female its the same:

But When running or walking the female Norn, as all of the other races have a animation for Both hands grabing the weapon but male Norn weilds it like it was a sword or other one handed Weapons:

I know this is definently not an issue for most people. And pretty unimportant, especially since the big patch is coming and everything is about that. And i am definetly not hatefully complaing, i just wanted to find an explanation. So i would like to know why this inconsistency in animation in this particular form occoured here ?

As attachment i have added one example so people dont necassarly have to go to imgur.
Edit: Appeartnly this also is the same for the charr, so maybe it is a design decision. This if someone wants to say something regarding that topic feel free to comment

My CHARR WARRIOR holds his rifle up to his eye and sights down the barrel for all skills exceptAimed Shot”, which he shoots from the hip.

What’s up with that? Talk about your inconsistencies.
